Lando Norris is pleased to have proved the doubters wrong after securing his maiden Grand Prix victory in Miami last time out.
“I said at the beginning of the year we could win races,” the McLaren star explained. “A lot of people doubted what I could say and the fact that I said that; I think they doubted that McLaren could win races, they doubted that I could win races, but I was confident.
“Deep down I knew that we had our time coming, so the team have done an amazing job. We weren’t even into Q2 here last year, so now the fact we’re on top, we’ve won a race, the team have done an insane job to kind of go from where we were to where we are now – and we’ve chipped away, especially the last couple of months.
“Whenever you bring an upgrade, it’s not easy to kind of just go out and execute and just show that it’s better. But little things come together and when you have all these little bits coming together, it turns into a perfect day like it did [in Miami].
“So, I would like to say it’s the start and now I’m already hungry for more, but we’ll keep our heads down, we’ll keep pushing and I’m sure we can be here a lot more often.”
