Lando Norris on racing in a competitive midfield

Lando Norris has described what racing in Formula 1's competitive midfield is like. The F1 rookie has impressed many with his racing ability but hopes that results continue to come his way as McLaren aim to top the battle for "best of the rest." After a retirement at the Canadian Grand Prix, Nossir will be looking to get a solid points finish in France this weekend. 

When speaking about McLaren's performance so far this season the young British racer revealed how tight the midfield is. 

"I guess the first few races it was probably a surprise but we’ve been there or thereabouts," Norris said to RaceFans. "It always changes things – what the fans think of the team and I guess me as a driver.

"Everyone knows how close it is in the midfield and sometimes you can have a bad Friday, a bad Saturday and still surprise people because it’s so close."

Norris has looked fast so far in his first season in Formula 1 and at McLaren it seems both the driver and the team have a bright future ahead of them.
