Norris admits mistakes in 'messy' Bahrain GP finish

Lando Norris expressed disappointment after finishing third in the Bahrain Grand Prix, which was won by his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. Norris faced challenges throughout the race, including a five-second penalty for a false start due to misjudging his grid position. Despite initially climbing to third, he struggled with overtakes and was involved in battles with notable competitors like George Russell and Charles Leclerc, which he described as a 'messy race.' After the event, he acknowledged his errors, stating, 'I made too many mistakes with the overtakes,' and noted that he was unable to capitalize on the car's performance, which was evident in Piastri's victory. Norris aims to improve in the upcoming Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, emphasizing the need to enhance his racing consistency. Overall, he highlighted some positives from the race but was disappointed not to achieve a one-two finish for McLaren.
