Lando Norris was dialled in during FP1 and FP2 at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix – but he was not focused on what it usually might have been at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
“Lando Norris took a different approach on Friday at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix by focusing on improving his driving and mindset instead of solely working on the McLaren setup. After an introspective period following a disappointing qualifying in Bahrain, the 25-year-old acknowledged the need for a major reset to overcome his on-track challenges, which he successfully achieved ahead of the weekend in Jeddah. Despite the fast-paced and challenging nature of the circuit, Norris demonstrated solid performance in the first two practice sessions, finishing ahead of key rivals like Oscar Piastri. While content with his progress, Norris remains cautious about the tight competition among leading teams and drivers, emphasizing the need to stay focused and continue working on self-improvement. Despite McLaren’s competitiveness, Norris acknowledges the close competition and stresses the importance of maintaining a diligent and self-reflective approach to further success on the dynamic Saudi Arabian circuit.”
