Lando Norris deceptive Under the appearance of a teenager who loves video games, with a short body and always smiling and joking, hides a very good competitive animal that sometimes shows some doubts in his statements. Last year, he had no sympathy for his former teammate’s bad year Ricciardo along with some of his statements. And this time, the young driver, one of the most loved by fans around the world despite having never won a race (at 23 years old he has 10 podiums and one pole), did not bite his tongue when responding to a pilot. who in 2018, when Alonso was at McLaren and Lando was a British protégé in Formula 2, assured Mundo Deportivo that Fernando was his “best teacher.”
Lando Norris was quick to respond to Fernando Alonso’s assessment at the Qatar GP press conference. The Asturian says McLaren probably has one “Too confident” in connection with his fight for fourth position in the Constructors’ World Championship.
McLaren is 49 points behind Aston Martin
McLaren improved significantly in the second part of the course and now has the second best car on many tracks, closely battling Mercedes and Ferrari. Meanwhile, Aston Martin seems to be a step behind after being the second best team at the start, so far the 5th fastest on many tracks. So, with 6 races remaining, with Aston Martin in 4th place in the Constructors’ World Championship, 49 points ahead of McLaren, the Spaniard is not so sure that those from Woking can catch up the fourth place.
“Every weekend we see ups and downs for everyone. McLaren is very strong before the August holidays: in Austria, at Silverstone. I think both (Norris and Oscar Piastri) “They were close to the podium at Silverstone and then at Zandvoort we were on the podium and they were struggling a bit,” Alonso commented before confirming that “So fortunately they are overconfident, let’s see if we can beat them in Abu Dhabi.”
Norris responded to Alonso
After the press conference, it didn’t take long before Lando Norris’ response arrived. “Are you saying we’re getting too confident? How many points we made up last weekend? Quite a lot. More than 20, I think (29). So, unless your math is getting worse, which I’m sure it isn’t. case… Fernando is just Fernando, he always says”replied Lando Norris on the portal ‘Motorsport.com’.
“Alonso always makes himself look good or makes others look bad. He’s very good at that,” He added, with an absolute ‘dart’ towards the man from Oviedo, that he always maintains a good relationship in front of the cameras.
Lando warns Fernando
“I don’t think we have overconfidence. I think we are the last people who have shown overconfidence when it comes to saying something. Especially myself,” added Lando, who warned the Asturian in relation to fourth place in Constructors.
“I thought we were still a lot of points away, so to get to 49 we have six races left and two cars to fix… They struggle to have two cars up there in Q3 or there at the end of the race, so I’d say it’s stupid for them to think otherwise. But he’s smart, he’s not stupid. “So, I’m sure we can do it, because if we have many podiums and things like that, then, yes, of course it is possible (to catch up with Aston Martin),” concluded the Briton.
