Lando Norris finished the season in 7th place, earning several times more points than his partner Daniel Ricciardo, but that doesn’t mean the 23-year-old talented Briton was comfortable behind the wheel of the MCL36.
“The car this year was the furthest from what I wanted,” admitted Norris, commenting on his results, the best of which was 3rd place at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola. “Maybe last year the MCL35M was somewhere in the middle, but this year we moved away from my preferences, what kind of car I would like to fly, or what would suit me best.
To be honest I always say give me the fastest car because I feel like I can find a way of driving that is better than driving a car that suits me. Building a car that suits me isn’t that hard, but it’s not guaranteed to be fast.
I think I said before that it’s the driver’s job to adapt to the car, not the car to adapt to the rider. In general, as long as the team makes cars that are as fast as possible, I will be happy to drive them. But if you can show good speeds, it’s better than driving a vehicle that you just feel comfortable driving.
It’s hard to argue with Norris’ reasoning, but if McLaren managed to build a car that would be more or less fast, but at the same time better suited to both drivers, then the Woking team would most likely finish 4th in the championship. constructors’ championship. , but in reality she lost this line to the Alpine F1.
