Norris: On tracks like Monza, Alpine beats us

Last year McLaren racers took a double win at Monza, but this weekend Lando Norris is very conservative in his chances.

Lando Norris: “Our goals remain exactly the same – it is still impossible to perform better than last year, because then we took the first two places. This time, however, I’d rather be ahead of my partner! (laughs)

Let’s see how it ends, although it is clear that we are not as competitive this season as we were a year ago, and for the weekend in Monza we are not so confident. But we’ve always performed well on this track – maybe we can handle things better this weekend than in Spa.

I think we’ve solved some of the issues that plagued us at Spa and other recent races, and if we can apply the findings we’ve reached and improve on the track this weekend, I’m sure we will be . can earn a lot of points. .

We are fighting with Alpine, but they have a pretty good car overall, so the rivalry is very sharp, we are struggling, but we keep attacking.

It makes no sense to make predictions on which tracks there will be opportunities to perform better, and hope for something – we prepare each race individually and we do our best anyway, because even last weekend we did well. We only had some bad luck with the introduction of the virtual safety car mode and the appearance of the safety car on the track.

But the team did a good job, the car’s settings were quite effective, although we have to admit that on tracks where low downforce is required, Alpine is ahead of us. Let’s see what happens this weekend.”
