Lando Norris is confident his McLaren team will be able to enjoy a stronger start to the new Formula 1 season compared to last year.
The Bahrain Grand Prix will again stage the opening round of the world championship in the Sakhir area of the Gulf state. McLaren will be desperate for a better start this year after a disastrous beginning to the 2022 campaign.
