LANDO NORRIS insists he knows he is “good enough” after a comeback drive at the Bahrain Grand Prix helped banish his despondency after qualifying.

The 25-year-old produced a strong race to battle back from sixth on the grid to finish third, overcoming a five-second penalty and a ding-dong battle with Charles Leclerc.

Norris’s team-mate Oscar Piastri claimed a dominant race win ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell.
