Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel praised Lando Norris as a "real role model" on Tuesday and said the Formula 1 leader's open self-criticism was a strength rather than weakness.

SAKHIR, Bahrain -- Lando Norris said he is still "not clicking" with his McLaren car after a messy, error-filled comeback drive to the podium at the Bahrain Grand Prix. F1's championship leader started from sixth after a disappointing qualifying -- Norris admitted afterwards he felt "clueless" about how to drive his car -- and earned himself an immediate five-second penalty after starting outside of his grid box.
