Lando Norris Declares No Excuses for McLaren Title Bid in 2025

Lando Norris has expressed confidence that McLaren has no excuses for not competing for the Constructors' and Drivers' Championships in 2025, following a strong finish in the previous season. At the F1 75 launch event, he emphasized the team's significant investments and improvements made to their car, the MCL39, and stated, 'We have nothing to hide behind.' After narrowly missing the title in 2024, Norris recognizes that both he and teammate Oscar Piastri are prepared to maximize their potential. With McLaren's recent success and the expectation to start the season strong, Norris believes that if they are not competitive from the outset, it reflects a failure on their part.

Norris's remarks highlight the pressure and high expectations placed upon him and McLaren as they aim for title glory in 2025.
