This season, McLaren has taken another step forward, thanks to Mercedes’s power and the retention of a promising prospect in Lando Norris. The 21-year-old has a contract till 2023 and has two podium finishes in 2021.
Not only has Lando stood on the podium twice, but he’s also consistently performed throughout the six races. During the last race in Azerbaijan, he came 5th, which was obviously with a little luck. He dropped to the 10th position at the start. but with a good drive and with Lewis and Max not finishing in points, it helped Lando end up in the 5th position.
Coming to the Bahrain Grand Prix, he just missed the podium as he finished 4th after an incredible drive. Apart from the Spanish Grand Prix, where he finished 8th, he was in the top 5. His consistency speaks for itself.
He finished on the podium at the Monaco Grand Prix where he almost lost the spot to Perez and at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, where he also finished third. He’s been in great form, however, he’s been getting penalties in almost every race and if he receives a few more, he’ll have to drop out from a race, ending his streak.
Meanwhile, his fellow partner, Daniel Riccardo is struggling in the McLaren and can’t seem to find his grip on the car. What are your predictions for the French GP? Can Lando continue his streak?
All about that consistency 🎯@LandoNorris is the only driver to score points in all six races so far in 2021 👏👏#F1 @McLarenF1 pic.twitter.com/OKiWvHOH8e
