McLaren's Title Ambitions Still Intact, Says Norris

Lando Norris remains optimistic about McLaren's chances of defending their world titles, despite a slow start to the F1 season. The reigning champion believes the team can "push hard" to close the gap with Mercedes and Ferrari when the season resumes at the Miami Grand Prix. Norris, who trails early championship leader Kimi Antonelli by 47 points, is confident that McLaren can turn their season around, citing previous examples where the team has overcome slow starts to finish strong. He emphasized the importance of addressing reliability issues and getting more time on the track to develop the car and power unit. Team-mate Oscar Piastri also expressed confidence in the team's ability to get back into regular victory contention over the remaining 19 races. With almost five weeks to work on their cars, Norris is eager to see the team's progress and is excited about the challenges ahead.
