I've probably made a few too many mistakes. I've made a few too many mistakes over the last month or so, I've lost opportunities. It’s my starts, just some decision-making here and there. It’s small things that have had big consequences. A lot of stuff now in F1, a small difference will have a big consequence because it's so close.
Lando Norris told the media including RacingNews365

Norris has only amassed a single win in 2024 despite battling at the front throughout the season. The 24-year-old will now hope to improve his performances after the summer break in order to challenge wholly for the world title this campaign.

The first objective is to win the constructors' for the team and I think we've got a very strong chance of doing that. We've been closing the gap to Red Bull in the last six or seven races.

McLaren trails the Milton-Keynes-based Red Bull by 42 points after 14 races this season. The remaining 10 fixtures will be a fitting test for them as they look to exploit maximum performance out of the MCL38 on the various F1 race track.
