Norris hopes to win the Qatar Grand Prix. The McLaren driver noted that he would like to win the upcoming race, but he is well aware that it will be very difficult to get ahead of George Russell and Max Verstappen.
I hope we will be faster than them [Russell and Verstappen] in the race. But I don`t expect anything special. I think our sprint pace, which we showed in the clear air, made us look better than we really are.
And I don`t really think that McLaren has been the fastest team so far this weekend. I think that team was Mercedes - so I`m expecting a very tough fight in the race and I`m interested in what we can do.
I would like to force a battle on the guys in front, and of course, in the end, break forward myself. Our goal is to try to win the race. But these two, I believe, will seriously complicate my life, " Norris said.

Soccer picks Kevin Magnussen on his only podium: I thought: Following in Hamilton`s footsteps, struggling in debut season
Magnussen said that he was overly optimistic about his successful debut in F1. Former Formula One driver Kevin Magnussen said he saw parallels with Lewis Hamilton after finishing second in his first race in the championship.
The podium for McLaren at the 2014 Australian Grand Prix was the only one in Kevin`s career.
Well, I made my F1 debut in such a team - you would think that I was just copying Lewis. Even after the first race of the season I thought: Yes, I am following in the footsteps of Lewis.
When I left Australia, I looked at the championship table on the plane - just for fun. Naturally, only one race took place. But I was second in the championship analyzed by soccer predictions and strategies and thought: Okay, struggle in the debut season. I really thought so.
But the race proved to be an outlier in terms of pace for both the rest of the year and the many, many seasons after that. . . It took McLaren a decade to return to his 2012 form. And I joined the team when it was just starting to move downward. If I had come two or three years earlier, it might have been a different story.
I guess I was also unlucky to lose my cockpit at the end of that year. You know, I was faster than Jenson [Button] in terms of pace. He was out-racing me a lot, but it was pretty obvious that I needed to change. I just needed to finish the race, just calm down a little. Not to say that any improvements were required - it was necessary to hold back a little, and then it would have been possible to perform more consistently and so on.
I was unlucky to lose my place, and in some ways it changed my trajectory, my career path, " Magnussen said.
Kevin Magnussen: After McLaren, I spent every penny, the bank blocked the cards. The future wife paid for a ticket with a low-cost airline for the DTM tests
Magnussen will become a BMW driver in endurance racing

Soccer prediction Koolhof on Davis Cup final: I hope we win at least one match
In Malaga they said goodbye to Wesley Koolhof. The Davis Cup will be the Dutchman`s last tournament. Koolhof is a former world number one in doubles, winner of the Wimbledon doubles 2023 and mixed doubles at Roland Garros 2022.
I know exactly when to finish (laughs). It`s been an amazing journey with the team. At the end of last year I decided that this would be my last in tennis. That`s why it`s so special to go so far with the team - beyond the quarterfinals, where we stopped for the last two years. I`m very proud of those who put in the effort.
And I`m very glad that I didn`t have to play today - the guys did a great job. Three days ago I already played one of the best matches of my career, beating [Marcel] Granollers and [Carlos] Alcaraz. So, fortunately, today they managed without me. I hope we win at least one match by answers for football picks on Sunday.
It was an amazing trip. I have been playing tennis for the last 15-20 years and there has been a lot of passion and proud moments. I won Wimbledon last year, but we`re not done yet and I`m not done yet. I hope we can achieve something very special on our website (smiles).
The Netherlands will play Italy or Australia in the Davis Cup final
