Lando Norris’s Starting Woes: Is It The Driver or The Car?

Lando Norris has had a breakthrough season, securing his first Formula 1 victories and putting McLaren in contention for the Constructor’s Championship. However, a recurring issue is hindering their progress: poor starts. Norris has lost out at the beginning of races, giving up potential positions and leaving him playing catch-up. While the driver has been working to improve his starts, doubts remain about whether the issue lies with the car or his driving technique. Some experts point to a potential problem in the car’s launch system, particularly during gear changes. Others argue that the issue is a combination of factors, including driver and car performance. Despite the challenges, McLaren remains optimistic and is committed to addressing the problem before the season’s end.
