The current standing seperates Norris 24 points from his teammate Oscar Piastri and Red Bull driver Max Verstappen, who claimed pole position in Las Vegas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked whether he was angered by the disqualification in Las Vegas, Norris replied: \u201cNo. It doesn\u2019t help. I think from what I had to do in the race, there was already some expectation that it might happen so it wasn\u2019t a shock or a surprise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe knew we were having a lot more issues than we ever expected during the race. Maybe it would have hurt more if we won the race, but we didn\u2019t so it doesn\u2019t change anything. There\u2019s no point being too sad about it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOf course, everyone in the team was a bit gutted about the result because there\u2019s a lot of effort that goes into it. It was frustrating, but actually I was quite okay. I\u2019m just excited to go again this weekend. It doesn\u2019t change anything \u2013 I want to try and win here in Qatar and I want to try and win in Abu Dhabi. It sucks, but that\u2019s life sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Norris also admitted that the height adjustment of the plank for the upcoming Qatar GP will surely increase the speed of the car which will help both the drivers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He said: \u201cWe\u2019ll probably be quicker now we have to put it up because I won\u2019t have to back off everywhere. Everyone thinks it\u2019ll make us slow but it\u2019ll probably make us quicker. I\u2019m excited for all of it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never been in this situation before but I\u2019m excited. I think it\u2019s exciting for everyone. I certainly would have liked to have the 30-point gap instead of 24 to whoever it is, but it makes it more exciting for you guys I guess, so good for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think I\u2019ll just go and try to do the same thing \u2013 I\u2019ll focus on trying to get a good Qualifying and have a good race and just take it one step at a time. I don\u2019t mind but of course the earlier I can do it, the better.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"At the same time, that doesn\u2019t change how I do anything. I just need to try and win and it\u2019s as simple as that.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The McLaren drive is admantant on taking out the whole from the car and give his best in the upcoming races rather than focusing on other competitors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cMax won last year and I think he won the year before,\u201d the Briton said of previous races in Qatar. \u201cWe come in with the same expectations of thinking it\u2019s going to be close. Red Bull over the last six, seven races have been, in general, the best.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t do a good enough job [in Las Vegas] so it\u2019s quite simple. We accept the mistake but nothing changes. For now, I\u2019m fine and relaxed. I just want to go and drive \u2013 especially after last weekend there\u2019s even more desire to just get on track and try and make up for last weekend. I feel ready to try and continue the good run that we\u2019ve had.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
