Lando Norris positive ahead of title bid as he gets first taste of 2025 McLaren

Lando Norris has been given the first taste of the McLaren he hopes will propel him to Formula One world championship glory as the British team unveiled their new car at Silverstone.

Norris fell short in his quest to take his first title last year after Max Verstappen saw off his challenge to land his fourth consecutive crown.

But Norris, 25, and team-mate Oscar Piastri still delivered McLaren’s first constructors’ championship since 1998 at the concluding round in Abu Dhabi last December.

Norris was first to drive the new McLaren on Thursday, with Piastri due to take over at Silverstone later in the day.

Is that the MCL39 we see?
