McLaren team boss Andrea Stella is confident Lando Norris is capable of taking his maiden F1 victory in 2024 should he be given the machinery to do so.
Lando Norris has been a top performer in Formula 1 since the beginning of 2021, but he has yet to secure a victory. Despite coming close at the Russian Grand Prix, where a mistake cost him the win, and Max Verstappen’s dominance, Norris hasn’t had a realistic chance to win a race. However, McLaren is expected to close the gap to Red Bull during the winter break, which could give Norris the opportunity to finally win. According to McLaren’s Team Director, Andreas Stella, Norris has proven his skills and is ready to compete for victories if the team can provide him with a competitive car. While McLaren has made progress in terms of performance, there is still room for improvement in various aspects of the car.
