Lando Norris faces a tough start to the 2026 Formula 1 season after missing the Shanghai race due to an electrical failure. McLaren's double DNS, with teammate Oscar Piastri also sidelined, leaves Norris with just 15 points from two races. He acknowledges the team's current struggles but emphasizes the lessons learned. “We need to better understand the power unit and improve the car’s performance,” he states. Norris admits the team isn’t yet capable of competing for podiums or wins. Despite the challenges, he believes in McLaren’s potential to recover. “Every year is different, but I have faith in the team,” he says. With a long season ahead and a break after Japan, there’s optimism for improvement. McLaren knows the direction to take and is determined to bounce back.
