McLaren’s dominance was evident at F1’s return to Zandvoort last weekend with Lando Norris clinching a commanding 22-second victory over Max Verstappen from pole position. The Woking-based team has closed the gap to Red Bull to 30 points with the improved MCL38 car, hailed by Norris as the best package.

Horner attributes McLaren and Mercedes’ winning streak to front wing performance gains, indicating areas where Red Bull may focus its development efforts.
