SAKHIR, Bahrain (Reuters) -Formula One leader Lando Norris lamented a "clueless" performance after qualifying only sixth for the Bahrain Grand Prix, while McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri romped to pole position.

The dejected Briton, who leads Red Bull's four-times world champion Max Verstappen by just one point after three races and is 13 points clear of Piastri, said he could only blame himself.
