Lando Norris' struggles to get a feel for the 2025 McLaren at the very edge of the envelope, particularly in the top-10 shootout in qualifying, have been one recurring theme over the first half of the season as he is needing to pull out all the stops to battle team-mate Oscar Piastri.
From a very early stage Norris noticed this year's car is providing him with much less feedback - through the steering wheel and other areas - on how it will react to his inputs, making it hard for him to attack corners at the very limit during qualifying laps; a technical term referred to as cueing.
