'That's the mission' Andrea Stella tells Lando Norris...
Lando Norris may have an easier path to a big points haul this year in Mexico than he did last season, but Andrea Stella has urged him to “replicate” 2023’s pace.had a wretched qualifying for the Mexican Grand Prix as car troubles, a driver mistake and finally a yellow flag meant he ended up down in 17th place.Vowing to “bounce back” in the Grand Prix, the McLaren driver put in an epic drive to gain 12 places as he raced his way to P5.
Norris currently sits 57 points down on Verstappen in the Drivers’ Championship but it could be Ferrari who prove to be the bigger obstacle in Mexico as the Scuderia look to follow up their United States GP 1-2 result with another victory.“I think looking back at Austin, Ferrari was quite a bit ahead in the Sprint, a little bit less in the race,” he said. “I think in the race we couldn’t really see Lando’s pace because we lost positions at the start.
“And for us, it has been clear for a long time that Ferrari is very credible contender for the championship. “But looking at the outright pace, I think Ferrari recently have been the most competitive car, so no surprise that they are in contention for in the quest for the championship, and our focus is on ourselves and obviously monitoring all our competitors.
