It was good to be back at MTC with the team ahead of the last three races of the year. I spent time preparing in the sim with my engineers. Everyone’s motivated and ready to give it our all in the fight for both Championships.

Lando Norris looking forward to driving at the ‘really cool’ Las Vegas GP
While Lando Norris has beat the drums with his intention of posing a strong challenge in the remaining races, he has also specifically shed light on Las Vegas. The 2023 event was one to forget for the Woking-based outfit.
Norris managed a DNF in the 50-lap race whereas Piastri ended his outing in P10.
We’ll be under the lights in Las Vegas. Driving along the Strip is really cool, and I’m looking forward to racing there in the MCL38. We’ve had a good car this year and the field is incredibly strong, so I can’t wait to see what we can do this weekend.

The 2023 event on the Las Vegas Strip proved to be extremely tricky for varied reasons. It was not easy to get heat into the tires in the cold conditions and several drivers were seen struggling with this.
Norris has been in sensational form this year and thus, he would be banking on it to produce some magic around the 6.201 km-long Las Vegas Street Circuit. Quite a few eyes will be glued on Max Verstappen and the Brit during the upcoming three-day event.
