Lando Norris: What “makes my life difficult” – but it’s not McLaren team order
Lando Norris identified his weak spot after the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, pointing out that his struggles mainly lie in qualifying rather than McLaren’s team order policy. In a fair and intense battle with teammate Oscar Piastri during the race, Norris managed to secure second place behind Max Verstappen. Despite his satisfaction with race days, Norris recognizes the need for improvement in his qualifying performances to make his life easier. Currently trailing Piastri by 13 points in the F1 standings, Norris acknowledges the importance of addressing this issue before the upcoming F1 Monaco Grand Prix. The fight for the championship intensifies as McLaren leads the constructors’ championship, with Red Bull 48 points behind and Mercedes closely following at 32 points adrift, despite not securing a win this season.
