How did Ricciardo and Norris perform at Interlagos?

At the recent Brazilian Grand Prix, the Woking-based outfit had a disappointing weekend, as both Ricciardo and Norris failed to grab maximum points from Interlagos.

Norris finished the race by coming tenth and grabbing a single point for the Papaya team. His Australian teammate failed to complete the Brazilian Grand Prix as he suffered a DNF.

With the next race just a few days away in the form of the Qatar Grand Prix, McLaren hope to bounce back and seize maximum points from the Losail International Circuit to help them in their fight for third place in the constructors’ championship against Ferrari.
