Lando Norris has identified a key advantage McLaren have over Aston Martin in the race for fourth in the F1 constructors’ championship.
After McLaren scored their first double-podium finish since 2021 in Japan on Sunday, they now sit just 49 points behind Aston Martin in the race for fourth.
McLaren continue to go from strength-to-strength, while Aston Martin are firmly back in the midfield pack. Assessing the fight between the two teams, Norris feels McLaren have a clear advantage as they have “two drivers who are up there fighting” and “not every team has that at the minute”, clearly suggesting that their main rivals - Aston Martin - are being disadvantaged by having just one driver in the fight.
“Yes. I didn't think it was that close,” he said. “But yeah, if it's 49, then I definitely think so. There's not many races left. I'm sure there's going to be a couple where Aston are going to be a bit stronger. “But I think our advantage at the minute comparing to almost every team, bar a couple, is we have two drivers who are up there fighting for these positions and fighting for these points.
