Although McLaren's MCL39 has demonstrated an early advantage in 2025's F1 season, Lando Norris feels that the papaya machine still does not suit his driving style. That said, the Briton has admitted to a change in his own approach, in that he is less worried if a car suits him and more worried about performance.
Norris says that he has given up on the idea of trying to influence the engineers to build a car that plays to his own strengths as a driver, and instead has put the onus on himself to adapt to what McLaren believes is needed to find performance.
