Celebrating his inaugural Grand Prix win at McLaren's British headquarters, Lando Norris exuded confidence in the team's ability to challenge for the Formula One title next season. The 24-year-old driver's victory at the Miami Grand Prix marked McLaren's first triumph in nearly three years, signaling the resurgence of the historic British team, once a dominant force in the sport during the 1980s and 90s.
Norris, now positioned fourth in the drivers' standings, 53 points behind three-time world champion Max Verstappen, emphasized McLaren's progress but acknowledged the sizable gap to Red Bull in the constructors' table, trailing by 115 points.
Despite the disparity, Norris expressed unwavering belief in McLaren's potential, citing the team's strong driver lineup and cohesive support behind them.
Returning to McLaren's Technology Centre in Woking to share the victory celebrations with the team, Norris emphasized the need to continue closing the gap to Red Bull and Ferrari for sustained competitiveness.
While recognizing the team's ongoing efforts to improve performance, Norris remains optimistic about McLaren's prospects, aiming to maintain competitiveness and challenge for race victories, particularly at venues like Silverstone for the British Grand Prix.
