Lando Norris says McLaren are focusing on cornering issues from 2019!

Lando Norris reveals that McLaren had some problems with cornering in 2019, issues they are looking to prevent ahead of the 2020 season as they go hunting the big three teams. McLaren were easily the best of the midfield last season, with Norris having an exceptional season in his debut year.

The 20-year-old Brit became the youngest McLaren driver of all time when he took to the track in Australia, reaching Q3 on his debut and he continued to impress alongside his more experienced teammate Carlos Sainz.

Norris said at the 2020 Autosport International: "You don’t always hear about every problem that goes on in a team and in Formula 1.

“But we were kind of suffering a bit at the beginning of last year. Last year was a completely different car with a lot of mechanical problems. We were trying to get as much understanding as we could get.

"We're trying to work on those areas and, from the results I’ve seen, it’s looking positive. It’s going in the right direction, but we still need more to be really competitive.”
