Lando Norris thinks it won’t be easy to overtake Max Verstappen in Sunday’s British GP.
McLaren driver Lando Norris acknowledged that overtaking Max Verstappen on a straight in the British Grand Prix will be challenging, given Red Bull’s switch to a low-downforce rear wing before qualifying. Verstappen’s pole position success was attributed to Red Bull’s overnight adjustments for straight-line performance, which are expected to benefit them more in race conditions. Despite the anticipated challenge, Norris remains hopeful that McLaren can find other opportunities to contend for victory. Both Norris and his teammate, Oscar Piastri, are aware of the need to work on weaknesses highlighted by Red Bull’s performance, but they believe there are still plenty of opportunities for McLaren in the race. The teammates express uncertainty regarding the outcome of the race, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of Formula 1 and the importance of adapting strategy based on race-day performance.
