Lando Norris is confident that McLaren can still mount a strong title defense despite a slow start to the season.

Norris trails early championship leader Kimi Antonelli by 47 points, but is determined to push hard for the championship. The team has been working on their car during the enforced break and Norris is optimistic about their chances. He cited examples of previous seasons where the team has overcome a slow start to finish strong. Norris also emphasized the importance of resolving reliability issues and getting more track time to develop the car. Team-mate Oscar Piastri also expressed confidence in the team's ability to get back into regular victory contention.
