After claiming a superb second place at Sunday’s British Grand Prix, Lando Norris has warned that while the result was spectacular, McLaren have a lot of work to do on what he bluntly described as a poor and, at times, terrible car. McLaren have made a remarkable turnaround after being off the pace when the season opened and delivered an extraordinary result at Silverstone, with Norris second and his teammate, Oscar Piastri, finishing fourth.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won the race, extending his lead in the drivers’ championship over his teammate, Sergio Pérez, to 99 points, but behind him the McLarens were the surprise package. Norris passed Verstappen, who was on pole, to take the lead at turn one to the delight of the home crowd.
