Britain's young and talented F1 driver, Lando Norris, has his sights set on following in the footsteps of the legendary Lewis Hamilton. With his impressive performance this season, Norris has caught the attention of many, including McLaren engineer Jonathan Beaumont. In an interview before the upcoming Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Beaumont made a bold prediction about Norris' potential to win the title and rated his season so far.
Currently sitting in second place in the World Drivers' Championship standings, Norris has been making waves in the F1 world with his recent wins at the Miami Grand Prix and Dutch Grand Prix. With a total of 241 points, he is just behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen by 62 points. As the season approaches its final stretch with eight races left, Norris is determined to close the gap, starting with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix this weekend.
Beaumont, who has been with McLaren for 11 years, believes that Norris' performance this season deserves a perfect score of 10 out of 10. He commended the young driver for his impressive job and expressed his pride in seeing the F1 team excel this year. With McLaren not far behind in the Constructors Championship, Beaumont hopes they will continue to build on their success.
When asked about Norris' chances of winning the title in a McLaren car, Beaumont confidently stated that McLaren has a history of producing champions and believes there is always a chance for them to do it again. He also mentioned the recent dominance of Red Bull and Mercedes in F1, but expressed McLaren's determination to make their own mark in the sport.
In recent weeks, McLaren has been busy collaborating with Lego to launch their new Technic McLaren P1 set. At an event hosted by the two companies, Norris drove a life-sized Lego version of the supercar around the Silverstone circuit. Lukas Horak, Lego's Senior Project Manager in Model Production, was thrilled to see Norris behind the wheel of their creation. Meanwhile, McLaren Automotive's Test and Development Director Ben Gulliver hopes that this collaboration will inspire the next generation of designers and engineers to push the boundaries of automotive innovation.
The Lego Technic McLaren P1 set is now available for purchase, and fans can get their hands on it through the official Lego website or Lego Stores. Priced at £389.99, it is a must-have for F1 and Lego enthusiasts alike. With Norris' impressive season and McLaren's determination to succeed, the future looks bright for both the team and the young driver.
