McLaren and Lando Norris achieved fantastic results at Silverstone last Sunday, as the young Brit finished in P2. Many believe Red Bull could target Norris in the future. Despite his amazing performance at the British GP, Norris feels the car still has some weaknesses, and they might need to figure them out quickly to stay ahead of the pack.
The MCL60 went through a massive upgrade before the British GP. They made changes to the floor fences, side pod inlets, aerodynamic fairings, and front wing layouts. As a result of the changes, both Norris and Oscar Piastri showed incredible speed last weekend, particularly in the high-speed corners. Hence, Norris got P2 and Piastri finished in P4.
Safe to say, Norris’ performance certainly caught the attention of many fans and experts. Speaking about the possibility of Red Bull signing Norris, former British F1 driver Damon Hill said, “Possibly Lando… He’s still got a few more years left at McLaren… If you’re that confident in yourself, you need to be able to move when the time is right.”
Even after achieving great success at Silverstone, Norris feels cautious about the next few races, as he said, “I don’t look forward to the bad races, there’s going to be a couple because there’s definitely tracks that we know we’re going to struggle more at… Our weakness is still the same and quite weak, so I think we really need to try and tackle them if we want to be able to be [at the front] more consistently.”
