Norris was considered one of a number of drivers to be punished for monitor limits offences which dominated a farcical finish to qualifying as Losail hosted F1 for the primary time since 2021.
The Briton had posted a lap time ok to earn a front-row beginning spot for Sunday’s grand prix however dropped again to tenth on the grid after operating too extensive by means of Flip 10.
Norris’ McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri thought he had been promoted to 3rd, just for his personal lap time to be deleted whereas conducting the post-session interviews, resulting in confusion in parc ferme.
Piastri subsequently fell to sixth, with each Mercedes drivers benefitting as George Russell and Hamilton moved as much as second and third respectively.
However Hamilton feels the enforcement of monitor limits in Qatar was finally pointless.
“I feel these new kerbs are nice,” the seven-time world champion stated within the post-qualifying press convention.
“When after I went across the monitor yesterday on the scooter, I believed the kerbs are fairly large, however I feel they’re truly actually good. I feel once you transcend the very best level of the kerb, you lose time.
“So I don’t really feel at this monitor we have to have monitor limits. It was one thing the brand new stewards introduced in a few years in the past. And yeah… Lando needs to be up right here.
“I feel it’s a great studying. We are able to take these kerbs to a bunch of different tracks as a result of clearly MotoGP are fantastic with these kerbs.
“We are able to have these in like Austria for instance. As I stated, once you transcend them, you need to have the ability to utilise as a lot as attainable, however once you transcend them, you lose time.
“So it shouldn’t be the white line crucial, however in any case, it’s not for me to determine.”
Hamilton’s teammate Russell stated: “I am unable to actually communicate for the others simply it is very difficult on the market. You bought to be very, very exact. We’re speaking millimetres typically.
“I’ve had no monitor limits, however two weeks in the past, I crashed into the wall and misplaced the rostrum. That was a small monitor limits there.
“So yeah, not too certain. I do not know. However undoubtedly it’s a bit irritating after we go to nice circuits.
“It is a actually nice circuit, however then it is so tough to know the place that restrict is, the place the sting is, and we have to discover a higher answer for the long run.”
Max Verstappen, who solely wanted one run in Q3 to storm to his tenth pole place of the season, prefers how monitor limits is handled at old-school venues like Suzuka.
“It is all the time powerful, actually. It is easy to go simply over it. I do suppose these kerbs are somewhat bit higher,” he stated.
“I do not suppose individuals who went extensive truly gained time, it is only a bit annoying, as a result of in the event you go somewhat bit wider you backside out and also you harm your your ground doubtlessly and also you undoubtedly lose time.
“So I feel that has been already a giant constructive in comparison with the final time that we had been right here.
“I feel, why do not we actually see monitor limits for instance, in Suzuka, is as a result of it is like old style. When you go off, there’s quick gravel.
“After all, already in some locations, in Suzuka, you’ve these double kerbs, and there is perhaps monitor limits in some locations, however within the older locations, which they have not touched you by no means discuss monitor limits.
“I might all the time want to see that sort of model of racing. However in fact, some locations we share with bikes they usually like a bit extra run-off.
“We all the time should attempt to discover a compromise however typically it hurts them and typically it hurts us somewhat bit extra.”
