McLaren Formula 1 team principal Andrea Stella stated that Lando Norris was “trying too hard” during the Canadian Grand Prix qualifying, leading to a scruffy lap and a starting position of seventh in Montreal. Despite a challenging Friday, Norris set the fastest time in FP3 before struggling in qualifying, ultimately landing on the fourth row due to significant mistakes. Stella explained that Norris, eager to push himself, may have overextended himself, but acknowledged his progress in feeling more comfortable in the car compared to the beginning of the season. Despite setbacks, Norris remained competitive, using used tyres in Q2 and showing promise for a strong Q3 performance. Stella emphasized the importance of finding the balance between pushing hard and avoiding costly mistakes in the highly competitive F1 environment. With adjustments made to the car, including front suspension upgrades, McLaren remains optimistic about Norris’ potential to challenge for pole position with controlled aggression on the track.
