Lando Norris has underlined an area McLaren cannot beat Red Bull and Max Verstappen, even when given an advantage.
At the British Grand Prix, Lando Norris pointed out a significant difference in straight-line speed between McLaren and Red Bull which could give Max Verstappen an advantage. Due to this, Verstappen starting from pole position at Silverstone may make it challenging for Norris to pass him on the high-speed circuit. The discrepancy in speed is attributed to Verstappen’s choice of a low-downforce rear wing setup. Norris expressed uncertainty on how effective McLaren will be in catching up and overtaking due to the similar DRS speeds between the cars. Despite the challenge, Norris believes there could be opportunities for McLaren during the race as different cars perform better in various sections of the track.
