Norris admits he was 'almost crashing at every corner' in the AustrianGP, but says McLaren's performance was 'better than expected'. F1
Lando Norris says McLaren's improved performance in Formula 1's Austrian Grand Prix was"better than expected", but still faces handling limitations that led to him"almost crashing at every corner".McLaren finally introduced its first true performance upgrade of the 2023 season on Norris' car last weekend, which allowed him to qualify in the top four for both Saturday's sprint and Sunday's grand prix.
"I was a bit nervous coming into the race, that the race pace was going to let us down today but actually it was better than I was expecting which was a good surprise," Norris said. "The car just goes quicker around every corner but the way you have to drive is exactly the same which is our next issue to tackle," he added.
But while he stressed how pleased he was for the work that has gone into McLaren's upgrade push, he also cautioned the team not to get too excited just yet.
