‘Lando Norris will be scouting around hard’ - Martin Brundle’s warning for former F1 team McLaren

Norris’ future has been the subject of intense s🎶peculation in recent months following McLaren’s terrible 🍷start to the 2023 season.
The 23-year-old Briton is contracted to McLare🎉n until the end of 2025 after signing a new long-term deal last year, but that hasn’t stopped him from been linked with F1’s biggest teams.
🅰After an improved showing at th🐽e recent Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Norris stressed he has “even more faith” in McLaren to get back to the front following a major technical restructure.
But McLaren slipped back in Miami, with Norris qualifying a lowly 16th and going on to equal 🌱his worst classiꦜfied race finish in 17th.
McLaren’s torrid weekend, and Norris’ future, was a topic of debate on the 🧜latest episode of the Sky Sports F1 Podcast.&🐻nbsp;
“Lando is incredible, he’s like ‘this is my team, I’m here ꦜf♌or a good number of years now and I support them’, but in the end his chin is going to drop if they’re midfielders at best,” Brundle said.
"Lando will be loꦚoking around. He’s got to be looking around but he's nailed on with the contract and the contract recꦛognition board.
"So he has got a while there and he's got time, he's a youn🐭g man. But McLaren will have to deliver up for the next 18 months or he'll be scouting around hard.”

Amid McLaren’s worst start to a season in decades, Brundle🐠 said CEO Zak Brown and everyone at Woking wi💧ll be feeling the pressure.
"I think what’s unquestionable is Zak’s genius on the finan🌊cial side, on the sponsorship and marketing side,” he added.
"They are restructuring n🅺ow with Andrea Stella and some other people coming into the team.
"They’ve got a new 🐻wind tunnel coming and they are hanging an awful lot 🌜on that feeding into the team very quickly in the next year or two.
“McLaren in general, and Zak in particular, will be feeling the pressure. Andrea Seidl has gone off to Alfa Romeo, but that’s not exactly flowing along brilliantly there at the m♉oment, is it?
“It’s a difficult busi༒ness and we’ll we see what these changes do for them.”
