Lando Norris is wary that Melbourne success has caused expectation

Lando Norris has warned McLaren not to get their hopes up too much after a very impressive result in Australia. The Brit has revealed that he was surprised with the pace of the McLaren and he hopes that it can continue at the rest of the races this season. 

"It's not a guarantee that we're going to be in Q3 every time, so I don't think everybody needs to get their hopes up or expect us to be in Q3 from now on," said Norris to Motorsport.com. 

"Obviously it's what we would like to do and it's our aim.

"But if we go into the next one and we happen to, for whatever reason, not be in Q2, I don't think it [progressing to Q3] is something everybody needs to not expect [in future races].

"Hopefully this kind of shows we're in a better position than we thought."

McLaren will hope that they can continue to impress their new young driver with their car and that they can consistently score in the points this season.
