F1 Fans Left Perplexed as McLaren’s ‘Unsafe Release’ Makes Ambitious Lando Norris Prediction

In F1, confidence plays a huge role in determining the success of a team and driver. That’s what separates the best from the rest and is what fuels both with determination to succeed. Although, sometimes, being over-confident can prove to be too much. A case in point was when McLaren accidentally launched a shirt that wasn’t to be released after the weekend.

Twitter users started sharing a screenshot from McLaren’s website, which has left some fans confused. Apparently, McLaren had prepared a shirt celebrating Lando’s win in the Miami GP. Except we haven’t gone racing yet.

While this may have been an innocent mistake, fans on Twitter didn’t need a second invitation to start joking about it.

Fans were quite amused and confused at the same time when the screenshot started circulating around.

As one user put it, “The plot thickens if Lando actually wins!”

McLaren F1 looking forward to Miami

McLaren up until now has had an upward trajectory. While the season may not have started in the way they hoped; it’s looking better now. A surprise podium last time out in Imola certainly has rejuvenated them. “I’m hyped for this weekend,” said Norris. “I’m riding in on the high of the last race and hoping to keep the momentum going forward.”

Lando’s teammate Daniel Ricciardo is looking forward to bouncing back from Imola. A first lap incident with Ferarri’s Carlos Sainz left his car damaged, and he ended up outside the points. Nevertheless, the Australian is looking forward to this weekend as he is raring to try out the new circuit.

Who are you rooting for this weekend? Do you think Mercedes has finally ended their slump? Let us know your predictions for the Miami GP in the comments section below.
