Andreas Seidl heaped praise on Lando Norris despite the Brit's results suffering from McLaren's performance struggles during the 2022 season.
It proved to be a more difficult year for the team than many expected. Given their progress in recent years they were hotly tipped to comfortably finish fourth in the standings, with some more optimistic predictions even suggesting they might have been able to trouble the 'big three'.
But that was not the case. They started the season almost entirely uncompetitive and produced a record of inconsistent results throughout the rest of it. In the end, their struggles to regularly score big points saw them finish fifth in the standings behind Alpine.
