Norris says he has pushed his McLaren F1 team to make this year's MCL60 'better to drive in general' rather than purely chase the quickest possible car.
Lando Norris has pushed McLaren to make the MCL60 Formula 1 challenger"better to drive in general" compared to its processor rather than purely chase the"quickest car".enjoyed a much smoother acclimatisation to the new breed of ground-effects machinery in the early part of 2022.
He, therefore, reckoned it took a third of the 2022 season for him to feel truly comfortable pushing in the car and the rest of the season to continue to fine-tune his inputs. Speaking at the car's launch on Monday, he explained:"There's definitely been a little bit more of a push from my side from last year into this year to not just try to create the best car, or quickest car.
"Whether it was a last era car or a [ground-effects] car, there's some things which are very similar, which we weren't able to understand or change much of."For my side, I just want to be able to figure those things out and unlock it and be able to not just have a car which is fast or whatever but have a car which is also better to drive in general and unlock a different balance.
