McLaren's Title Ambitions Still Alive, Insists Norris

Lando Norris remains optimistic about McLaren's chances of defending their world titles, despite a slow start to the season. The reigning champion believes the team can still "push hard" to bridge the gap with Mercedes and Ferrari. Norris trails early championship leader Kimi Antonelli by 47 points but is confident that McLaren can turn their season around. He cited previous examples where the team has overcome difficult starts to finish strong. Norris emphasized the importance of addressing reliability issues and maximizing track time to develop the car and power unit. Team-mate Oscar Piastri also expressed confidence in the team's ability to close the gap and consistently challenge for victories. With 19 races remaining, both drivers are focused on making the most of the upcoming Miami Grand Prix and the rest of the season.
