The McLaren driver felt that he had some of the best races of his Formula 1 career, despite a challenging start to the 2023 season.
Lando Norris believes that the 2023 season was one of his best in Formula 1, with some of his strongest races. He achieved seven podium finishes and finished sixth in the Drivers’ Championship, accumulating the second highest number of points after the summer break. Norris now shares the record for most podiums in F1 without a win with Nick Heidfeld. He felt more confident and was able to get the most out of his car, especially in races, after McLaren’s mid-season improvements. While he made a few mistakes in qualifying, he believes that McLaren can continue to improve and prove themselves. The season started tough for McLaren, with no points in the first two races, but a major update at the Austrian Grand Prix and strong performances at the British GP showed their turnaround. Norris had five second-place finishes, and teammate Oscar Piastri also had a second-place finish. This season exceeded their expectations in terms of improvements.
