Lando Norris feels he is performing better both on and off the track in Formula 1 this year compared to his ****** le-winning 2025 campaign, fresh off back-to-back wins for McLaren.
The reigning F1 world champion has taken pole and victory in the last two rounds in Hungary and Zandvoort to breathe fresh life into a difficult ****** le defence, as McLaren made a slow start to the new regulations era.
With Norris fourth in the standings and still 83 points behind leader Kimi Antonelli, talk of a ****** le fight has been quelled so far, but from his personal performance levels the British driver feels he's operating better than during his ****** le-winning season.
"I was driving at a high level the second half of last year. It's tough to say [if I'm driving at my highest level], but I do think it's a trickier car to drive this year in some ways," Norris said. "I think you can see that because the gaps between team-mates are often bigger this year, I would say, than it was last year. But I do believe so.
"I do believe I'm able to understand situations better, to understand the car in a better way. It's still just horrible to drive, but I'm doing a better job at just understanding this, relaying this to my team, figuring stuff out.
