Norris: McLaren has ‘proven’ it can fight against F1’s top teams
McLaren had a difficult start to the year, but their performance improved after introducing a new car at the Austrian Grand Prix. They have been consistently fighting for podium finishes since then, achieving their best result of the season at Suzuka with a double podium. Lando Norris, the team’s driver, is optimistic that they will not have any more bad races and believes McLaren can compete against top teams like Ferrari and Mercedes. However, Red Bull’s dominance has prevented McLaren from securing a victory, as they have excelled in the small details that make a big difference in races. Norris acknowledges the challenge of winning a race against Red Bull but is confident in McLaren’s progress and future focus on areas that need improvement. The team’s hopes for next year are further supported by the addition of a new wind tunnel facility.
