Norris sure of McLaren title challenge after Miami GP victory: 'I want to believe'

The British driver is targeting more race wins after taking his first in the US last weekend

By GPFans Staff.

Lando Norris believes that McLaren can win the F1 world championship, but that 2024 may come a year too early.

Norris stormed to McLaren's first win since 2021 in Miami, with neither Max Verstappen or Sergio Perez able to match the Brit's pace in his papaya car.

Oscar Piastri also showed strong pace in the other McLaren, keeping in touch with Verstappen from P2 early on before damage from a scrap with Carlos Sainz put him out of the points.

The triumph moved Norris up to fourth in the standings, trailing Verstappen by 53 points. McLaren sit in a comfortable third in the constructors' championship, though are some way off Red Bull and Ferrari.

“Absolutely, I want to believe. We have two great drivers… we have an amazing team behind us, and we’re closer than ever.

“I want to believe, and I should have the confidence to say [that] next year we can go for more, we can go for the next step.

"But we have a lot more work to do and we’re working hard to try and achieve it," he added.
