Lando Norris believes that McLaren is on par with Alpine and AlphaTauri
The Briton states that the performance levels of his team are in the midfield, alongside AlphaTauri and Alpine. The battle promises to be interesting!
If in the ranking McLaren is in fourth place behind Mercedes, the results have not always been there. The latest races have been more favorable for the British team, which was not the case at the beginning of the season (zero points in Bahrain and only six points in Saudi Arabia).
The next appointment is in Barcelona, the first location for winter testing. This Grand Prix will serve as a test ground for the teams to compare lap times and the behavior of the cars compared to the pre-season.
The weekend not yet started, Lando Norris believes that his team’s performances do not allow him to fight at the front of the pack.
It is tough to know exactly what we are going to do starting from this weekend. In terms of performance, we are behind Mercedes and Alfa Romeo. But we are in a good battle with Alpine and AlphaTauri. Haas is also nearby.
In short, it’s tight. I think it puts us around the fifth or sixth place in the hierarchy. We have a good pace. We just need to be able to compete a little more with the Mercedes and the guys in front. If we do that, we can be satisfied.
Before the Spanish Grand Prix, McLaren has a 15-point lead over Alfa Romeo, who is in fifth place, and a 20-point lead over Alpine, one position behind.
