McLaren showed a remarkable improvement last season with Lando Norris and teammate Oscar Piastri achieving top-three results after initially struggling to avoid Q1 eliminations. Despite Norris securing seven podiums, he admitted to not feeling entirely comfortable behind the wheel of the MCL60. While McLaren’s 2024 car is seen as a step forward from its predecessor, the MCL38 still has characteristics Norris finds challenging. Piastri outperformed Norris in Saudi Arabia, leading him in the standings, prompting Norris to express the team’s ongoing efforts to address weaknesses and make the car more enjoyable to drive and faster overall. McLaren boss Andrea Stella mentioned upcoming minor updates before a significant upgrade package is introduced in the summer, with Norris emphasizing the importance of even small improvements in the competitive midfield battle.
