McLaren is confident that any “discomfort” Lando Norris is feeling from the blistering form of Formula 1 team-mate Oscar Piastri will not have a detrimental impact on him.
After several seasons where Norris has been de facto team leader at McLaren, the Briton has faced an increasingly tough challenge this season from rookie Piastri. And the Australian’s potential was made clear in Qatar when he took pole and victory in the sprint race before finishing runner-up in the grand prix itself. Norris was left kicking himself afterwards over what happened in Qatar, as he blamed his own errors for missing out on the clear opportunity to do better.
“So for me, Lando sees this as a bit of discomfort, but it's the discomfort you need to become the best in a way. It's a curse and blessing to be a champion.” Norris has the trait of criticising himself if things do not go right, but Stella does not think that he goes so far that it is counterproductive. And he has faith that he will quickly learn to find the right balance that’s needed to perform at his peak.
