Norris dreams now
In some ways, the second place of Imola di Lando Norris it is worth more than the much desired success of Miami. In Florida, in fact, the British rider was also favored by the episodes, while on the Santerno he played on equal terms against Max Verstappen. And, in the last part of the Grand Prix, he was the fastest on the track, putting the three-time world champion in difficulty.
Taking into account the improvements of the MCL38 in slow corners thanks to the package presented in Miami, it is to be believed that McLaren can allow the #4 and Piastri to challenge Red Bull and Ferrari also in Monte-Carlo. Norris, however, dreams even bigger and believes that the Woking team are now in the running for the title.
Norris’s words
“If we continue like this, we can definitely stay in the game. I’m 60 points behind Verstappen, and there’s a very long way to go”, this was his comment at the press conference. “I’m not thinking about it and we haven’t thought about it for the last four weeks, we just want to focus on achieving good results, but we definitely put ourselves in the fight for the title. We lost a lot in the first two weekends and that penalized us, but we are still a third of the way through the season and there are a lot of opportunities for us“.
“I think, together with Ferrari, we are probably the team that has two cars that perform well in every single session, in every qualifying and in every race. If you look at many other teams, it’s not like that: there’s one that does an exceptional lap and does a good race and the other that doesn’t do the same.“, he continued. “One of our strengths is that we have always had two cars up there and at the moment we can fight well with Ferrari“.
