Lando Norris: I had to adapt to the MCL39.

      Lando Norris won four races in 2025 and after thirteen rounds, he is in second place in the driver’s standings. In Hungary, the McLaren driver said that at the beginning of the season, it was difficult for him to adapt to the MCL39 car. "I had difficulties with the car, and I needed to understand how to drive it most effectively," Lando Norris said. "Yes, it’s still a McLaren with a papaya color, but it handled completely differently compared to previous years' cars. I had to adapt to it because it didn’t suit me very well. It was tough, I had to reconfigure myself to be as fast as I needed to be. I feel like I succeeded and was able to improve. I believe that now I’m better at pushing in difficult moments and overcoming the challenges that can be encountered during a race weekend or on the track."
