McLaren replaced Ferrari in the top-3 position last season with the help of Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz. The Briton’s 2020 teammate has now moved on to McLaren’s rival team- Ferrari. Some in the F1 community believe that Sainz has moved up to a better team.
However, Norris does not think so. During the Woking team’s presentation, the Briton analyzed whether Ferrari can take back the top-three position from McLaren.
“It’s not that Ferrari is a much better team than we [they are]. We have great self-confidence in us, we’re still a very good team. Ferrari is Ferrari. They are extremely competitive and have shown that throughout their time in Formula 1.”

“It’s not just about [Ferrari]. We can’t just worry about Ferrari. It’s about every competitor on the grid who can beat us,” he said.
