NORRIS CONFIDENT YET REALISTIC ABOUT 2020 MCLAREN

After a 2019 campaign smoothly led by McLaren, Lando Norris perceives in 2020 the opportunity for Woking to leap to the highest level into a new headland during his return. Without however making any inaccurate high claims.

As chief executive officer Zak Brown recently announced, McLaren’s goal this year would be narrowing the gap even further with the mad Mercedes – Ferrari – Red Bull trio, without sacrificing the season for 2021, and the new technical regulations.

“There were many, but there were more specific ones we struggled with. From the results I’ve seen, it’s looking positive. We want to be saying we’re going to take a step forward and I think we can be confident in that – but how big of a step is unknown compared to the other teams.”
