Lando Norris was quick to point out that Aston Martin have “made the car slower and slower with every upgrade” after McLaren moved past them in the F1 constructors’ championship.
McLaren has moved up to fourth place in the constructors’ standings after Lando Norris secured his sixth podium finish in nine races. Aston Martin, at the beginning of the F1 2023 season, looked to be Red Bull’s closest competitor, while McLaren struggled to qualify for Q3. However, since Austria, McLaren’s performance has improved significantly, with Norris consistently challenging Max Verstappen. Meanwhile, Aston Martin has fallen back to being the fifth-fastest team and both Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll failed to qualify for Q3 in Austin. Norris expressed his satisfaction with McLaren’s progress and took a dig at Aston Martin, criticizing the latter’s declining performance throughout the season. Despite missing out on another victory, Norris deemed the US GP as an “amazing day” for McLaren, considering their initial struggles earlier in the season.
