Last week I was back at the MTC to see the team and prepare for Barcelona. I always enjoy going to Spain, there’s always a great atmosphere from the fans and it’s an amazing city.

McLaren’s pace has enabled both drivers to start closing the gap on the rival teams in the constructor championship. Norris highlighted that he was feeling great about returning to Europe after the solid results in Canada. Additionally, the 24-year-old recalled the situation where he barely missed out on scoring the race win against Max Verstappen.

It’s great to be back in Europe after a successful Canadian GP for us. We were close to another win, but I’m happy to get another podium and important points for the team.

Apart from this, being in the position to be able to win races against Red Bull was great according to Norris. The Briton was also excited to witness how McLaren fared in terms of performance down the season. However, the 24-year-old did accept that the team still had some work to do to further improve performance. Regardless, the team was in the right direction to end the season on a great note.

It’s a great place to be in, fighting for wins, and it makes me really excited for the rest of the season. We know we’ve got a little bit of work to do to ensure we’re winning more regularly, but we’re moving in the right direction.
Lando Norris concluded.

McLaren is consistently scoring points while Ferrari and Red Bull are committing multiple mistakes which are costing them points. Hence, this could mean that there could be a great three-way battle towards the end of the 2024 season. Woking will continue to harbor in-season upgrades to continue to score such positive results in the season.
