Lando Norris says that he and his McLaren Formula 1 team have quickly adjusted to the \u201cnew reality\u201d of being in a position to regularly fight for podiums on merit.
"I think obviously Spa was not a bad one for us still," he said."We just didn't have a race car, we had more of a qualifying car. But even the race car was not bad when we were in clean air.
"It just wasn't a raceable car, I think is the way of saying it. I got overtaken every single lap because we were so slow on the straights."But when I was in clean air on the soft tyre the pace was good enough. Obviously, Oscar was one hundredth off [the sprint] pole position. We still fought for good positions, and had a good qualifying.
"This track is a little bit more back in line with Budapest, so I would say there's no reason why we can't continue where we were prior to Spa. "And I think Spa was a bit of an outlier with efficiency and things like that, which we just didn't have. "Because so much time and effort has been put into making the car good for 90% of the circuits rather than the other 10%, which includes Spa and kind of maybe a bit of a Monza scenario, which I think is a perfectly valid and excusable thing."
