The Woking-based squad McLaren has had a strong start to the campaign, with two podium finishes by Lando Norris placing them in third in the Constructors’ Championship standings. However, McLaren’s performance has been inconsistent, underperforming at Suzuka but achieving their best result in China. Formula 1 driver Piastri emphasizes the importance of McLaren addressing their performance inconsistencies to compete with Ferrari for second place. He believes it is crucial for the team to analyze why they are quick on some days and struggle on others.
