The past seasons for one of Formula 1’s most noted teams have not brought any success or luck but the current season seems to be going quite fine for McLaren. Isn’t it? While the iconic racing team is already benefitting from the likes of Carlos Sainz Jr., the experienced Spanish driver in the outfit, having a talented rookie of the class of Briton Lando Norris, is also paying the team well.

Thus far, Lando Norris has been able to finish more races in points vis-a-vis his senior at McLaren. And that said, it’s not the only thing going quite right for the Zak Brown-outfit.

With the car holding out well thus far, it can be hoped that in the 17 races that remain ahead, a lot of good things could be in the offing for the famous team for which legends like Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost drove in the past.
