McLaren F1 Team

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Norris' fourth season in Formula One- and subsequent fourth season with McLaren - was a bit of a step down from his 2021 season performance-wise, as both himself and former teammate Daniel Ricciardo expressed frustration with the consistency of the car at times during the year. A lack of front-end grip is seemingly to blame for Norris' singular podium finish in 2022, despite him being the only driver not out of the Top 3 constructors (Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes) to do so. Regardless of the car's shortcomings, Norris was able to get a bit more performance out of his MCL36 than his previous teammate during the season and was McLaren's primary points-winner in the battle for the Constructor's Championship. Finishing in the Top 10 sixteen times over the course of the season, the driver of the No. 4 made a valiant effort to keep his team in the running- only for Alpine to end up finishing ahead of McLaren, clinching fourth-place by 14 points. This season, Norris hopes to make a statement as one of the more talented youths on the grid but will have to overcome yet another temperamental car if McLaren is unable to address the issues identified in 2022.

Disappointing P6 in Brazil
Formula One
November 3, 2024
Norris finished sixth in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Interlagos Circuit on Sunday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
The rain Sunday in Brazil was the biggest factor for all drivers, but it would prove to be a major problem for Norris. Despite the McLaren's clear pace advantage, it was mostly nullified in this slip-and-slide grand prix. Norris would start on pole but lose the lead on lap 1 to George Russell. He would ride P2 until pitting on lap 28, which would end up being ill-timed due to the virtual safety car for Franco Colapinto's crash. Both Alpine's as well as Max Verstappen would get the benefit of a better-timed pit stops and push Norris down to P4 by the red flag. An off-track excursion by Norris would put him down to seventh-place, but eventual P6 finish after gaining one of those spots back. He'll look to rebound next round out in Las Vegas.
