Lando Norris reacts to the technical changes within McLaren
McLaren has experienced changes within its management. Rob Marshall will join the team to help develop it. Lando Norris sees this arrival as a positive thing, ensuring that the team is heading in the right direction.
This week, McLaren announced the arrival of Rob Marshall. The current engineer from Red Bull will join the Woking team at the end of the season. Rob Marshall will be able to bring all his experience and expertise to McLaren, in a season where they need it. Lando Norris is delighted with this arrival, which will bring a lot for him.
“He will bring knowledge and expertise. He was at Red Bull for several years. He had a lot of success and victories with the team. He has been with many big names and is one himself. So he will bring a sharp mind and fast lap times with him. It’s a big signing for the team,” said Lando Norris.
Not the only arrival
The engineer from Red Bull will join McLaren as the technical director of engineering and design. He will also be joined by David Sanchez, the aerodynamics engineer from Ferrari, who is also committing to McLaren. After 17 years with the Austrian team, Rob Marshall will try to revive the Woking team. This arrival will strengthen the team.
« It’s a huge step forward for us. It will drive us forward as a team to keep moving ahead. We will be able to continue adding performance and expertise to the entire team in our goal of improving ourselves and moving up the grid, stated Lando Norris.
Already good signs
McLaren continues its major movement within its development team. After the promotion of Andrea Stella as team principal, the arrivals have been consistent for the team. A new wave seems to be desired by Zak Brown to bring McLaren back to the forefront.
I will never say that I don’t believe in it. I haven’t done it in the past and I won’t do it now. Since these arrivals, only good things have happened. Only good things have happened since these changes. In terms of atmosphere, ambiance, and performances, as Lando Norris testified.
The changes made not only allow McLaren to perform on the track. The Woking team can also succeed in improving the aspects of the sport. Off-track matters a lot for a team, and that’s what McLaren has achieved with these arrivals. Even though the effects will take time to be felt, some will come right away.
“Things are not instant in Formula 1. Many things take time. It must be taken into account. But we have taken a step forward. I can confirm it and say it with confidence,” the British driver revealed.
