LANDO TELLS MCLAREN HE NEEDS WINS

LANDO NORRIS has warned McLaren he cannot go another five years without challenging for a world championship.

The British racer (top) enjoyed his best result of the season last time out, finishing fourth in the Austrian Grand Prix, as upgrades to his car paid off.

But prior to that the 23-year-old had been battling in the midfield, with McLaren’s package not on a par with Mercedes, Ferrari or Aston Martin, as the Red Bulls continue to dominate out in front.

Bristol-born Norris, who has risen through the ranks with the Woking outfit, has been tipped as a future world champion – but he has never been given a car capable of challenging. He has registered six podiums, finishing second once.
