Lando Norris believes McLaren’s next development target is to make its Formula 1 car “easier to drive in different conditions”
McLaren had a difficult start to the season with their underdeveloped MCL60 car, but they made significant improvements with a revised car introduced at the Austrian Grand Prix.
Despite the improvements, Lando Norris revealed that the updated 2023 car still doesn’t suit his driving style, and he has had to adapt to achieve good results.
Norris and his teammate, Oscar Piastri, have provided similar feedback to the team, stating that they always have to push to the absolute limit to unlock the car’s full potential.
The team’s next target is to make the car faster and easier to drive in different conditions, as Norris and Piastri both feel that the car is on a knife edge and requires constant effort to drive it at its best.
Finding consistency and making the car more drivable without compromising performance is a challenging task that the team is working on.
Nevertheless, Norris is confident that McLaren can find the optimal balance and continue to make progress in making a faster and more driver-friendly car.
