Lando Norris, from the McLaren Formula 1 team, secured second place on the podium with his trophy.
Since Miami, when Norris achieved his first career victory in F1, McLaren has been delivering satisfactory performance, surpassing Red Bull Racing and Ferrari in the Constructors’ Championship in the last three races.
However, even with the McLaren MCL38 being considered a useful equipment in Formula 1, the real challenge will be at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, a traditional track that puts the performance of F1 cars to the test.
Norris is eager to see the speed of his MCL38 and expressed his excitement before the Spanish GP this weekend: “It’s fantastic to be back in Europe after a successful Canadian GP for us. We came close to another victory, but I’m satisfied with another podium and valuable points for the team. It’s an incredible position to be fighting for wins and it fills me with anticipation for the rest of the season. We know we still have work to do to ensure more frequent victories, but we’re heading in the right direction,” he added.
In addition, the British driver is confident in his chances at the Spanish GP, stating: “Last week, I visited the MTC to meet with the team and prepare for Barcelona. I always enjoy going to Spain; the fans create an incredible atmosphere and it’s a remarkable city. The track presents its challenges with a combination of slow and high-speed corners, but I believe we’re well positioned to maximize our performance and extract the full potential of the car. We have our eyes on the prize, let’s go!” Norris concluded.
Oscar Piastri achieved success in Barcelona during his time in the junior categories, which gives him confidence for the Spanish GP weekend, especially with the MCL38 at his disposal.
Piastri expressed his satisfaction with the team’s good performance in Canada, as they continue to achieve positive results after their races in Imola and Monaco. He emphasized the joy of consistently competing at the front and being in contention for big rewards. Having done well previously in Barcelona in the junior categories, Piastri feels confident in the car’s performance and is looking forward to the next race in Spain.
Andrea Stella, team principal of McLaren, maintains a sense of cautious optimism ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix. Recognizing the competitive nature of the sport, Stella acknowledges that their rivals will not stand still. As they prepare for the start of a busy European season with three consecutive races, Stella acknowledges the demanding workload for both the drivers and the entire team. However, he takes inspiration from their recent performances and solid results. While believing in the MCL38’s ability to perform well on different tracks, Stella recognizes the unique challenges that the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya presents. With other teams introducing updates, Stella emphasizes the importance of staying focused and making the most of each weekend.
In the 2024 F1 Constructors’ Championship, McLaren currently occupies third place. They are behind Ferrari, who are in second place, by 40 points, while Red Bull Racing leads with a 49-point advantage over Ferrari.
