LANDO Norris insisted he is feeling calm and composed ahead of the Qatar Grand Prix, where he could claim his first Formula 1 drivers’ world championship title.

Unfazed by the double disqualification of himself and McLaren teammate and title rival Oscar Piastri in Las Vegas last weekend, the 26-year-old Briton told reporters he is completely at ease ahead of this weekend's showdown.

“T feel as relaxed now as I did when I was 35 points behind, and I feel the same when I’m 24 points ahead,” Norris said. “For now, that’s my strength. It feels the same as it did before Mexico, when I wasn’t leading, and in Austin.”

Norris, who needs only to outscore Piastri and defending four-time champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull by two points to secure the title this weekend, played down the pressures of expectation and the Dutchman’s late-season fightback.

The Court confirmed that once a settlement agreement is lawfully concluded under the Tax Administration Act, No. 28 of 2011 (“the TAA”), SARS is bound to its terms.
