Learning from mistakes - and quickly - is what separates the best from the rest. Unfortunately for Lando Norris, he's fallen into 'the rest' category.
Securing pole position for a grand prix should be a celebrated success which hugely increases the likelihood of winning a race. But for Lando Norris, it's becoming a living nightmare.

Since rolling out upgrades for the Miami Grand Prix in May, they've had the strongest car and the strongest grid position.
But their strategies have been thrown out of the window by Norris continuously making the same errors.
Max Verstappen has one simple job in Las Vegas next weekend - finish ahead of his British rival and he'll take the trophy home with two races to spare.
It should not have been this easy for the Dutchman and Norris only has himself to blame.

Tennis embarrassment
THE WTA Finals may as well be played on a practice court given the lack of fans attending in Saudi Arabia.

This is supposed to be the crème de la crème of women's tennis but it's turned into an embarrassment.
