Norris Dismisses Claims of McLarens Dominance as Nonsense

The British racing team McLaren’s driver, Lando Norris, has sharply criticized claims regarding his team’s supposed dominance in the current Formula 1 season.

«Those who label McLaren as unbeatable are just talking nonsense. They enjoy spouting ridiculous things. It seems to me that the media should focus on the facts rather than just repeating what everyone else says. I could come up with a bunch of nonsense, and you would then publish that.

If we look back just a year, Red Bull was still considerably ahead of us. With two dominant drivers, their advantage was far greater than what our team has right now. So, it’s fair to say that we’ve been doing a good job. I feel that there’s much more attention on us now. This might be because we’ve managed to close the gap in the championship over the past year and a half.

Within the team, we all feel confident since we’re aware of the strength of our car. It’s not always easy to handle, but it still remains one of the strongest on the grid.

Being under scrutiny is pleasant for us. It’s still a new experience. Mercedes held such a position for five or six years. We’re not there yet, so it serves as a motivation for us right now.

This works in our favor. People love to talk and discuss things that aren’t accurate. But I hope that you will dig into the facts,» Norris was quoted by the Autosport portal.
