Lando Norris speaks on Formula 1 season and McLaren's hopes

McLaren has set its sights high for the 2025 season, aiming to win back-to-back constructors' titles for the first time since 1991. Back then, the legendary Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger drove for the team, and now, in addition to defending the title, McLaren also has the ambition to win the driver's title. 

The team from Woking have shown a remarkable ability to get back into contention and now all eyes are on Lando Norris who has become the main favorite for the title.

Lando Norris, speaking about McLaren's strategy for the upcoming year, pointed out that the team is fully prepared for the challenges ahead. 

"Last year we had a great turnaround, when we managed to overtake Red Bull in the second half of the season, and the fight with Ferrari lasted until the last lap. Now we want to repeat that success, but with an even bigger goal - winning the driver's title," said Norris, emphasizing the team's ambition and the progress they have achieved.

Norris also emphasized that while the team is now among the title favorites, 2025 is long and it remains to be seen how it will develop. 

"The season lasts the whole year, so it doesn't matter how we start, it's how we finish," said the British driver. 

He added that last year's comeback of McLaren from a big gap behind Red Bull was proof of their strength and ability to recover from problems.

McLaren driver felt positive and confident, stressing that he is ready to start the new season in Australia. However, although he is confident in his team's abilities, he pointed out that the start of the season, regardless of how it unfolds, will not define the entire season. 

"We had a bad start last year, but we managed to come back, and now we want to make our start as good as possible," said Norris, reminding again that the key to success is gradual progress throughout the season.

This year, McLaren will be under a lot of pressure, and this young driver believes that with continued work and development, the team will remain competitive and at a high level.
