Speaking in the FIA press conference at Suzuka, N🍎orris was asked if McLaren have th𝄹e strongest driver line-up on the grid.
He replied: “The strongest”.
Giving his tꦰhoughts on Piastri’s extension, he said: “Firstly, congrats to him. I think any contract that allows you to belong in F1 is a great thing.
“He’s performed, he’s done everything he’s needed to and exceeded most people’s expectations from what he’s been able t🏅o achieve already this season. He’s pushed me a lot. It’s not a nice thing, it’s not what I want.
“He’s done a very good job. Congrats to him for a few more years. We’ve had a fun first half of the season and a lot of progress. I think for him to be part of that prog🧸ress and to hopefully continue that into next year, ‘25 and ‘26 for himself, is going to be something to really look forward to.”
