Before the start of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Lando Norris has been in a positive mood, crediting a recent run of strong performances as a sign that his season is turning around. Per Formula1.com, the McLaren driver noted that he was “doing some things better than last year,” a sentiment echoed in a similar statement on the official Formula 1 site. The comments came after a series of top‑ten finishes that have seen Norris climb the points ladder, a sharp contrast to the struggles he endured in 2023.
In the interview, Norris highlighted the importance of consistency and learning from past mistakes. He said that while the team has made significant technical improvements, his own racecraft has also evolved, allowing him to extract more performance from the car during qualifying and on the track. The driver added that he is keen to build on this momentum in Baku, a circuit that rewards both speed and strategic acumen.
McLaren’s recent upgrades, particularly in the power unit and aerodynamic package, have played a key role in Norris’s resurgence. The team’s engineers have been working closely with the driver to fine‑tune the car’s handling, and the results are already showing in the form of better lap times and improved race pace. Norris expressed confidence that these developments will help him stay competitive in the midfield battle for the championship.
