Norris and Ricciardo join hands to take McLaren to next level

Currently, their arch-rivals on the grid are Ferrari, who occupy fourth place in the championship. Ricciardo and Norris are well aware of the threat the Maranello team can pose to their 2021 season, which makes securing points finished at Hungaroring even more important.

Norris said, as quoted by Motorsport, “It’s very difficult to do everything right in the Hungarian GP and we know it will not be easy to outperform our closest competitors in the constructors’ championship.

“Still, we will do our best to increase the gap even further and finish the first half of the season strong,” the Brit concluded.

Ricciardo is on the same wavelength as his teammate and is hoping to have a good weekend. The Australian said, “It’s a circuit that can be difficult to overtake, so we’re going to work hard to get the most out of our performance on Saturday and if we do that it might make our job a little bit easier for Sunday.

“As always, we will work hard to score as many points as we can and continue to fight for the constructors’ championship,” Ricciardo concluded. (Translated via Google Translate)
