Norris: Upgraded McLaren ‘in the fight’ in Singapore
McLaren introduced a significant upgrade package earlier in the year, which greatly improved their performance and allowed them to compete for regular podium finishes. They have brought additional new parts this weekend, specifically designed to address their car’s weaknesses in slow-speed corners. Despite not expecting to be in first place, McLaren had a positive day of practice at the Marina Bay Circuit and their updates are performing as anticipated. While Ferrari seems to have a clear advantage, McLaren expects to be competitive against Red Bull, Aston Martin, and Mercedes in qualifying. McLaren’s teammate, Oscar Piastri, will receive the complete upgrade package at the next race in Japan, but he remains optimistic about his chances for a strong result in Singapore.
