Norris: We will have no excuses in case of defeat
Last season, the McLaren team won the Constructors' Cup, but Lando Norris could not beat Max Verstappen in the fight for the title. Ahead of the F1 75 ceremony in London, the British driver said he would have no excuses if he lost in 2025 as well. Lando Norris: "Of course I hope we win the title. After last season we will have no excuses if we lose this year. In 2024 we had excuses, but this year we don't have any. Last year we proved that we have everything we need to fight for the highest positions and we are ready to give our best. If at the beginning of the season it turns out that the car lacks speed, it will say that we did not do our job well enough. But the team now does not look at things that way. For the team, the new season began as soon as the last one ended. Guys at the base immediately began to work to prepare for us a competitive machine, because in Formula 1 a lot depends on the technique. As for us, racers, last year we showed what we are capable of, and when the machine allows you to fight for victories and titles, we are able to squeeze the maximum out of it. So it's fair to say that the team and I are ready.
