Norris: Race wins, not F1 title, the realistic goal before 2026
Lando Norris has signed a contract extension with McLaren, aiming to achieve his dream of winning a world title. Although McLaren made significant progress last year, Norris remains cautious about expecting too much in the near future. He believes McLaren has the potential to build on its success but does not want to get carried away with the idea of a championship challenge just yet. Norris acknowledges that the team was close to victory in some races last year and sees potential for winning races this year as well. However, he believes that consistency and making the right decisions will be key in challenging the likes of Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. Norris sees the major rules reset in 2026 as an opportunity for all the top teams to compete for the championship.
