The 2022 F1 season started out disastrous for the British based F1 team, McLaren. Despite having a fabulous performance last year, they seem to be struggling with their car this year and are unable to perform up to the fans’ expectations.

The upcoming Italian Grand Prix is an especially memorable one for McLaren as they were able to secure a 1-2 last year with Daniel Ricciardo in the lead and Lando Norris coming in second. Many fans expect a similar performance by the team but Norris is doubtful of the outcome this weekend.

McLaren’s performance this season has been subpar compared to last year and many fans are disappointed by this. Lando Norris, the 22 year old British driver who joined McLaren in 2019 has been performing exceptionally since his debut year and despite McLaren’s shortcomings this year, his performance has not diminished.

Despite the continued good performances by the driver he is skeptical on winning a race with McLaren and when asked if the car could perform as well as last year he said, “I want to just have some faith and keep some belief, but I think it’s going to be a very difficult weekend for us.”

McLaren is currently fifth in the constructors championship with a total of 101 points. Lando Norris has scored a total of 82 points for the team while Ricciardo has scored 19 points for the team.

Can Lando Norris secure a win with McLaren this season?

McLaren have had a disastrous F1 season this year and have been unable to produce a car like last year that is capable of competing with the top teams on the grid.

Despite the shortcomings by the team this year, their lead driver Lando Norris has been performing exceptionally and has scored most of the points for the team placing them 5th in the constructors championship.

McLaren have been performing well despite the many issues and if luck favors them, they could score more podiums and increase their standings on the constructors leaderboard.
