- ‘I have more responsibility now,’ says British driver
- McLaren have entirely new car for 2021 F1 season
Lando Norris believes he will face the hardest challenge of his career in the new Formula One season. The Briton, entering his third year in F1, said he would have no excuses not to perform at his best as he looked to step up and assume the role of team leader alongside his new but more experienced teammate, Daniel Ricciardo.
Last season McLaren finished an impressive third in the constructors’ championship with Norris scoring a career-best third at the Austrian GP. Last year he finished in ninth, three places below his teammate, Carlos Sainz, who has been recruited by Ferrari.
