Lando Norris has offered his view on who McLaren’s biggest threat is in the F1 constructors’ championship.
Lando Norris believes Ferrari is McLaren’s main competitor in the F1 constructors’ championship this year, even though Red Bull cannot be discounted. McLaren currently leads Red Bull by 40 points, with Ferrari trailing closely by just 8 points in second place. Ferrari’s recent strong performance, including a victory in Austin, has made them a formidable opponent, especially with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz consistently performing well. Norris emphasized that Ferrari is a bigger threat due to their strong two-car presence at the front compared to Red Bull’s reliance on Max Verstappen. While acknowledging the potential for changes in the pecking order with upcoming upgrades, Norris remains focused on Ferrari as the current main competition, but emphasizes that Red Bull should not be underestimated.
