Lando Norris says he is 'excited' to see if McLaren can mount a challenge against Max Verstappen in Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix by maintaining their strong recent race pace. As had been the case in Sprint Qualifying on Friday, Norris qualified second behind Red Bull's Verstappen on Saturday, but the 0.4s margin between the top two was far greater than it had been 24 hours earlier.
Asked how the team have been able to optimise the car at the Red Bull Ring, he added: 'Just a more stable balance, a bit more connected front to rear. And that worked out well. 'I think we made the right changes. And then you can see that it's little things that sometimes can actually make quite a bit of a difference in lap time.
