Lando Norris says McLaren will not solve issues overnight

McLaren driver Lando Norris says that the team is going to be working hard to solve their current issues but that a fix is not going to be found overnight.

After a decent start to Formula 1 testing back in February, McLaren have had rotten luck with testing in Bahrain hampered badly by things like brake issues and then qualifying underlined their struggles with Daniel Ricciardo only managing P18 and Norris P13 for today’s Bahrain Grand Prix.

Certainly, it is not the start that anyone connected with the team would have wanted, and Norris says that it’s not going to be an overnight fix.

“I think everyone’s working hard, and we just had a long meeting going through everything so they’re working hard,” Norris said as per Motorsport.com.

“They have been since last year really to come up with good things.

“There are still lot of the positives we got, just sadly, more negatives and then positives.

“So it’s just about time and working on them. And I think now we understand them more than ever. It’s simply about putting them into action.

“It’s not an overnight job,” he continued, “it’s not something that we’re going to turn up Sunday and be amazing, or turn up to Saudi and be amazing.

“But it will take time, and they’re going to be working hard to try and make those improvements.”

“It’s challenging to put a lap together but then, at the same time, when you do put it together, you feel like you should be much higher than where you are, like the last lap I did in Q2 it was a 1m32.0s or whatever it was.

“But it feels like I should be sixth, seventh, fifth, whatever, or pole! You’re performing, you feel like you’re extracting everything out of it, but you’re just a long way off.

“So it’s a little bit of both. It’s harder to get it
