McLaren's Formula One leader Lando Norris called himself an idiot after crashing in Saudi Arabian Grand Prix qualifying on Saturday, and he stuck by the self-criticism when talking to reporters afterwards.

Piastri was the first to set a lap in Qualifying 3, a 1:27.560s set moments before the red flag was shown.

The car ran onto the exit kerb, sending him heavily into the wall and triggering a red flag.
