Lando Norris remains confident that McLaren can make the necessary changes to its car to fight for the 2026 Formula 1 championship. The British driver expressed this after announcing his contract extension with the Woking-based team until the end of 2030.
Despite a tricky start to the season, McLaren has made a significant performance leap after introducing upgrades. Norris has claimed back-to-back wins at the Hungarian and Dutch Grands Prix, putting him in the title fight.
“Well, we're trying to change that. That's one thing I'm certain of,” Norris told Sky Sports. “The team is working better than they've ever worked before. I think they're working in a more efficient, harder way, even than the last couple of years. And that level was world championship-winning level. So, it's not that I don't think we can win it.”
“I'm confident we have a lot of what we need in place. It's just certain areas on the car that we need to improve. And I believe we can. It's just a race against time, as always, within Formula 1. But we proved over the last few weekends that we can still win races, and we have very good momentum.”
Norris added that he always wants a little bit more and wants to be confident that the car can be improved enough to easily say, “Yeah, we can fight for this world championship.” He emphasized that as a team, they can fight, but they need to improve some things with the car.
McLaren currently sits third in the constructors' championship with 263 points, 162 points behind leaders Mercedes. Norris is fourth in the drivers' standings with 159 points, 83 points behind leader Kimi Antonelli.
