After finishing fourth at the Singapore Grand Prix, Lando Norris called McLaren the slowest of Formula 1’s top four teams and said it must keep developing its car.

Although Norris said no upgrades were planned in the near term, he sees McLaren as closer to the leading group than at the start of the 2026 season and still capable of fighting for a top-four race finish.
