McLaren’s Surprising Success on Challenging Circuits
McLaren was apprehensive about the triple-header of races in Texas, Mexico, and Brazil. The team believed that these circuits would accentuate its weakness in slow-speed corners and wouldn’t suit its high-downforce capabilities. However, McLaren’s concerns turned out to be largely unfounded, as it managed to secure yet another podium finish at the US Grand Prix.
Lando Norris, the British driver for McLaren, delivered an exceptional performance in Mexico. Starting from 17th position on the grid, Norris showcased his remarkable driving skills and skillfully maneuvered his way to a fifth-place finish. This astonishing display not only demonstrated Norris’s talent but also highlighted McLaren’s ability to overcome its anticipated struggles.
The Jigsaw McLaren is Solving
With its recent success on tracks that were expected to be challenging, McLaren has shown that it is currently working on solving a critical piece of the puzzle. By excelling on circuits that don’t necessarily play to its strengths, the team has proven its ability to adapt and compete under difficult circumstances.
