‘Surreal’ first look at McLaren; ‘incredibly painful’ F1 call explained — What we learned
Lando Norris has enjoyed a “surreal” debut in the championship No. 1 car on McLaren’s first day of pre-season testing.
The constructors championship winner waited until the third day of F1’s opening secret test in Barcelona to hit the track, preferring to maximise development time away from the circuit for a car it says will receive few upgrades before the opening race in Melbourne in March.
Norris was given exclusive use for the MCL40’s first kilometres, with teammate Oscar Piastri set to take control of the new car on Thursday.
