Norris details why he thinks McLaren can beat Aston Martin in F1 standings
McLaren has shown a surge in competitiveness since a mid-season upgrade, putting them just 49 points behind Aston Martin in the constructors’ championship. Lando Norris is confident that McLaren has a competitive car that can help close the gap in the remaining six races. He believes that having both himself and teammate Oscar Piastri consistently delivering points gives McLaren an advantage over Aston Martin, whose pace has been declining in recent races. Norris acknowledges that there may be races where Aston Martin is stronger, but he believes McLaren’s advantage lies in having two drivers fighting for positions and points. McLaren team principal Andrea Stella, however, downplays the focus on beating Aston Martin, emphasizing that the team is pushing at their fastest sustainable pace without the need for specific targets.
