“We Have to Do More, Much More”: Lando Norris Clips Zak Brown & Co.’s Wings After Exposing Biggest Chink in McLaren’s Armor

McLaren‘s remarkable performance at the British GP left fans and rivals alike in awe. Lando Norris secured a front-row spot and challenged Max Verstappen throughout the race, ultimately claiming a well-deserved P2. However, despite their recent success, Norris has shed light on the biggest chink in Zak Brown & Co.’s armor, acknowledging that their impressive showing may not be easily replicated.

The recent updates to MCL60  have drawn comparisons to RB19. While these changes have certainly propelled McLaren’s resurgence, Norris remains cautious about the team’s consistent performance. Reflecting on their achievement at Silverstone, he acknowledged that the MCL60 excels in high-speed corners, which were abundant at the British circuit. However, Lando Norris emphasizes that the car’s performance in slow corners, may not be as strong. Anticipating potential challenges, Norris is prepared for the scrutiny that may arise if their performance appears lackluster at certain tracks.

According to Speedweek, Norris’s insights shed light on an important aspect of F1 “One thing is clear throughout the field: How competitive a certain car is depends primarily on the characteristics of the track. We have further improvements in store, but there is still a long way to go to regularly be ahead of Mercedes, Ferrari or Aston Martin, let alone Red Bull Racing. We have to do more, much more.” [translated via Google]
