After a decent 2020 season, McLaren will head into the new season facing new challenges. Although the team has uplifted their morale with Mercedes engines powering their cars. But driver Lando Norris feels that Mercedes engine in just a piece in the puzzle for Team McLaren. There is no doubt that this is a great boost. But he feels that deriving consistency in the races is of paramount importance. 

There is immense amount of competition from teams like Red Bull and Mercedes. Particularly in terms of consistency. Lando Norris feels McLaren although they might have had a good session towards the end of last season, McLaren have to be consistent like the big guns. Having said that neither Daniel Ricciardo nor Lando Norris has had the previous experience of driving Mercedes powered cars in their F1 careers. But they are the quickest learners in the Formula 1.

Norris stated RN365, “There are certain races at certain tracks where teams are able to excel but if we want to be racing against Racing Point (Aston Martin) consistently, we have to make some big steps. A Mercedes engine is a good step forward but it’s not going to sort everything out.” 

“We’re not going to be able to just get podiums at every race. The car itself and everything we have to do as a team needs to be improved from the pitstops to how we design things and the whole philosophy of the car. There needs to be just constant improvements.” 

“That’s where Mercedes are very good or Red Bull are very good. They can deliver the same performance every single weekend. That’s what we need to try and achieve because that’s what gets you points in the constructors’ championship, not just one race where you look like heroes,” concluded Norris.
