McLaren's Title Hopes Still Alive, Says Norris

Lando Norris is confident that McLaren can still mount a strong title challenge despite a sluggish start to the season. The reigning champion believes the team can "push hard" to defend their world titles when the season resumes at the Miami Grand Prix. Norris trails early championship leader Kimi Antonelli by 47 points, but is undeterred, saying "this isn't a case of giving up" and that the team will continue to work hard to turn their season around. Team-mate Oscar Piastri also expressed confidence in the team's ability to get back into regular victory contention over the remaining 19 races. The team has been working to address reliability issues and develop their car, with Norris saying "we're ready for it" and Piastri adding that he has "complete trust" in the team's ability to get them back to the front.
