Norris: McLaren ‘all over the place’ despite strong pace
Following his second-place finish at the Singapore Grand Prix, Lando Norris continued his strong performance by placing third in both practice sessions at Suzuka. Norris was just four-tenths of a second behind Max Verstappen, with Charles Leclerc of Ferrari coming in second. Norris expressed satisfaction with the pace of his car, although he noted that it felt unstable and lacked grip. However, he remains optimistic about McLaren’s chances and believes they can compete for the best-of-the-rest position behind Verstappen. Norris doesn’t expect to challenge for pole position but aims to challenge Mercedes, Ferrari, and Aston Martin in the upcoming race.
