Lando Norris helped McLaren to their best season since 2012. Just in his third Formula 1, the McLaren driver shocked everyone by claiming his first podium last season. However, he could not make the most of his season as the momentum faded away.
The McLaren driver looks back at his 2020 season and explains how the car was not optimal for the Briton. How the car evolved through the season and hints at entering the 2021 season with more confidence.
“The way the car has evolved over the season, you had to drive it a little differently. That made it a little harder for me. It wasn’t optimized as much as I usually drive the car. Towards the end of the season we adjusted it more in my direction to give me more self-confidence.”
