Lando Norris has endured a very mixed start to the Formula 1 season, given that he leads the drivers' championship ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
When in control the McLaren driver has looked like the quickest driver on the grid, as proven by his victory in the season-opening race in Australia.
He leads the F1 drivers' title having not finished off the podium, although that is likely to change at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
Norris starts 10th in the fifth round of the year after crashing in the final part of qualifying, marking his latest driver error.
With Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri on the front row, it will require a howler from both drivers for Norris to leave Jeddah still in the lead of the championship.
Norris has been incredibly hard on himself in recent weeks, outlining his mistakes and how he must stop making them.
Despite this, he is yet to stop making unnecessary mistakes, opening the door to Piastri and Verstappen. Suzuka is the only circuit Norris has not made a genuine mistake at this season, raising a crucial question.
Will Norris' mistakes cost him a first drivers' championship come the end of the campaign?
