Lando Norris Slams Critics Claiming McLaren’s Dominance like Red Bull
In a fiery response to comparisons between McLaren and Red Bull, Lando Norris did not hold back in expressing his views on the matter. The Red Bull advisor, Helmut Marko, suggested that McLaren was dominating like Red Bull in 2023, putting pressure on the Woking-based team. However, Norris was quick to dismiss these claims, stating, “I think all these stories, like us being unbeatable, are just nonsense. I believe that sometimes people love to talk rubbish.”
Norris went on to criticize the media for perpetuating these claims without factual basis, urging them to dig deeper before spreading what he referred to as “a bunch of nonsense.” According to Norris, McLaren is not on the same level of dominance as Red Bull, neither in 2023 nor in early 2024. He highlighted that Red Bull’s car from the previous year was far superior to what McLaren currently possesses compared to their rivals.
The McLaren driver’s comments shed light on the competitive landscape of Formula 1 and the ongoing battle for supremacy among teams. As the 2025 season unfolds, tensions rise, and every statement and performance are scrutinized under the racing microscope. Norris’ outspoken stance serves as a reminder that in the high-stakes world of F1, every word matters, and every on-track result shapes the narrative of success and dominance.
