The McLaren rising star, Lando Norris, sheds light on future plans with the home team. Even though the season of 2022 didn’t go in their favor, Norris is convinced that he has what it takes to bag a championship in the coming season.

Finishing in the seventh position in the championship this year, Lando Norris believes he is up to fighting with the big guns like Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton in the field. However, when asked about his future with the team, Norris claimed, “Only time will tell.”

Norris is admittedly not satisfied with the way things have turned out for himself this year. Nonetheless, Norris signed his contract with McLaren before the season of 2022 came to an end. His new contract spans over the next two years, until the end of the year 2025.

Lando believes that there is a huge room for improvement and McLaren will be willing to find its way all the way to the top. In an interview with Sky Sports F1 at the end of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Norris shared his future plans.

Sharing his desire to compete with the champions in the game like the Red Bull and Mercedes stars, Norris said, “If we want to do well and we want to be champions at some point and we want to win races, we can’t be satisfied with where we have been this season, but we can certainly be satisfied with the progress we’ve made.”

Furthermore, Norris shared what it is like working at McLaren.

Lando further added saying, “I mean, from where we were in race one, I think we’ve done a good job – we recovered well.”

“From the mechanics with our pit stops, our strategy, the whole team’s work ethic – so many things are working well, it’s just we need a slightly better car, that’s all,” he said, in conclusion.
