Lando Norris says there will be no quick solution to McLaren’s struggles through slow-speed corners with its 2019 Form🌜ula 1 car, but remains hopeful of the team’s chances in the upcoming races.

McLaren currently leads the fight for fourth place in the constructors’ championship after making a strong start to the s🙈eason, sitting 21 points clear of nearest mid♋field rival Renault.

While both Norris and teammate Carlos Sainz have impressed with their recent run of form, the team’s biggest losses compared to Re☂nault have come inౠ slow-speed corners.

This weekend’s German Grand Prix and next week’s race in Hungary both take place on circuits featurin𒈔g more slow-speed turns – particularly at the Hungaroring – that Norris conceded remained McLaren’s weak spo♌t.

“The slow speed is our biggest weakness at thꦫe moment. I𒀰t's something that we need to work on, but it's not as easy as it looks,” Norris said.

“It's easy just to change things, but it's a weakness of this car and that's what we need to focus on, but to try and keep the high-speed and m🤡edium-speed [strength] - though still need to improve there because compared to the top teams we're still a long way off.

“But comp🔯ared to the teams we're realistically racing against, we have strengths and weaknesses, but it's the weaknesses we n💃eed to work on.

“It🍨's not something we can change over a weekend. It's not like something we can just optimise the speed of the car for the slow-speed and sacrifice the high-speed.

“We can't gain as much as𒊎 we're losing at the moment. It's part of the longer-term project, and hopefully something we can improve over the winter.”

Asked if he was concerned about two tough races coming up, Norris said he did not think t🌌he weakness would totally cripple M𝓀cLaren.

"There's a good amount of high-speed and 𒈔medium-speed as well. It's not like because there's a little bit of low-speed we're going to bed terrible,” Norris said.

“Paul Ricard we were very good, Australia too – Turn 3 is slow speed, Turn 4 is slow speed – so it's not just ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚbecause there's slow speed we're going to be bad."
