Norris finished 20.741 seconds behind but can now secure his first title in Qatar next weekend, with McLaren having already clinched the constructors' crown for the second year in a row."
"Norris lost the lead to Verstappen at the start, dropping to third when he ran wide at the first corner and opened the door for the Dutch driver and Russell. He retook second from Russell on the 34th of 50 laps but then had to manage fuel to the finish. I let Max have a win, he joked. I let him go, let him have a nice race."
