We were a little cautious, even before Monza. But I think now we see that McLaren can compete in circuits where last year we were not competitive. So I think it's a very competitive package overall, and this could be a very important weapon for Lando in particular, in the quest for the championship.

The 24-year-old has been making his trade in F1 since 2019. With the passage of time he has honed his skills further and he even amassed his maiden win at this year’s Miami Grand Prix. Norris is in red-hot form and this will bode well for him in the remaining races of the season. However, if he is to win the driver’s championship, he will require assistance from McLaren, potentially via team orders.
