Lando Norris predicts ‘bigger changes’ for McLaren in search of ‘more consistent car’ in F1 2024

Norris enjoyed his best year with McLaren in F1 2023, finishing on the podium seven times.
It meant he secured sixth in the drivers’ championship, narrowly missing out on fourth to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso.
McLaren started the year as one of the slowe♐st teams on the grid before a mid-𒅌season upgrade turned their campaign around.
On many occasions, particularly at high-speed circuits like Japan and Qatar, they were 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s nearest challenger.
Howeve꧅r, heading into 🍬2024, Norris still wants further improvements.
“I expect almost bigger changes than we've had over the last year,” he said. “I feel like we've been in a place now more than ever where we can t൲ackle more things atꦇ once.
“If you're still last, you kind of try to focus a li💞ttle more on one thing - just making the car a 🐼little bit quicker.

“Now I think we're in a much better position that we can focus on sღome of the finer details, details which we've not really been able to improve much at all over the🅺 last five years.
“And things that I would love to have﷽ more of as a driver and I think would suit me more as a driver is trying to work on tho🔯se things.”
Norris wants McLaren to focus on the “small things” which can “make a big difference” if they are to close𝓡 the gap to Red Bull.
“I think now w🦂e're more capable than ever of trying to focus on them [weaknesses] and improve them,” he added.
“That will help with qualifying, help the race pace, help with the racing. Some small things can make a big differen🌊ce. Sꦫo if we can work on that, then I'm confident we can have a very good car next year.
“A more consistent car is really the main thing that we wantಞ to have.”
