What can we expect from McLaren? 

After challenging Ferrari for third in the F1 constructors’ champio🉐ns⛦hip in 2021, McLaren had high hopes going into the new generation of cars.

McLaren started the 2022 season poorly but quickly turned it around, relying on ꦛthe brilliance of Lando Norris to finish on the podium at Imola.

Norris’ fo💟rm has propelled McLaren ahead of where they should be in terms of outright pace.

T🌞he young British driver has established himself as one o🌄f F1’s best drivers but it’s time for McLaren to give him a car capable of challenging at the front.

On the other side of the garage, Daniel Ricciardo will leave the team at the end of 2022, ꦰwith McLaren announcing the news ahead of the Belgian GP.

Oscar Piastri will 🍨replace his fellow countryman after opting for McLaren over Alpine.

McLaren will have to close the gap to the top three teams, particularly seeing how much Ferrari managed to improve between 2021🍰 and 2022.

Let’s not forget, McLaren was level with the Scuderia a yearꦓ before.

Will McLaren deliver?

McLaren have won just one race since 2𓂃012 - a crazy stat given the size and prestige of the Woking-based outfit. 

After a strong resurg🌌ence in recent years, McLaren have taken a stepback - will they be able turn it around? 

Realistically, McLaren will be wanting to close in on the top three teams but🍷 it’s no easy task.

With Aston Martin strengthening, Alpine a factory team, McLaren won’t find it too easy to find their way back 𝄹up the grid.

Can McLaren keep Norris long-term?

If McLaren is unable toꦬ give Norris a car worthy o𝐆f his talents, will they be able to keep him?

While Norris has a long term deal with the team, Mercedes mi♔ght need a replacement for Lewis Hamilton in 2024.

Outside the top three teams, Norris is clearly ⭕the standout talent and given his age, would be the perfect signing. 

Norris is happy with the current team environment but he will want race winning machinery in ꩵthe comi🔥ng years.
