Integrated into the sector McLaren since 2017, Lando Norris stands out from the start in Melbourne by entering Q3 before scoring his first points in Bahrain then in Azerbaijan.

« We were expecting a “free” weekend in Shanghai. But we were able to bounce back, Lando Norris then declared. We didn't feel sorry for ourselves or get carried away by frustration. In Baku, we responded in the best possible way with this double entry into the points. »

After a learning period without points, Lando Norris was rewarded in Canada and France where he finished consistently ahead of the Red Bull de Pierre Gasly.

« This is probably my greatest achievement in F1 so far, he commented. If we manage to stay in the fight with them to score big points, we will be happy. »

In the fight, the English neophyte did not fail to remain so from the following Grand Prix, in Austria, where he held off the leaders in the first laps before slipping in the ranking following an error in the pits.

Since then, despite an unsuccessful European campaign at Silverstone, Hockenheim and Budapest, Lando Norris has never ceased to amaze with his speed and maturity at the wheel of one of the McLarens whose team is now fourth in the Manufacturers' standings. .
