2021 Portuguese Grand Prix – Free Practice We ll try to make another step tonight and we should be right in the mix tomorrow
Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, Friday 30 April
Hear from McLaren Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo, and Executive Director, Racing, Andrea Stella after Friday practice for the Portuguese Grand Prix.
LANDO NORRIS, #4
12th Not a perfect day, a couple of issues here and there which interrupted some of our running. It wasn t too bad, it just meant we didn t quite get through the run plan as easily as we wanted to. We definitely have some work to do overnight on some things. I think there’s some quite clear areas we can focus on that, if we improve them a little bit overnight, we can definitely find some performance. So, that’s our aim tonight, we’ll see if we can come back stronger tomo

A rocky opening to FP1 that saw Hamilton label the car as “undriveable” morphed into a pretty solid day in the end for the Silver Arrows. The reigning world champion struggled to get his soft tyres into a good working window in the first session, but nailed his preparation lap in FP2 to grab the top spot. As for Bottas, he looked the happier of the two in the morning before dropping back marginally as the day wore on. Top in both sessions as a team – but can they stay there tomorrow, with Red Bull hot on their heels?
Norris: Difference at McLaren is ‘incredible’

Lando Norris has hailed the “incredible” difference at McLaren from when they were struggling down the F1 order compared to now.
The 21-year-old Briton enjoyed a superb Emilia Romagna Grand Prix weekend, vying for a front-row start in qualifying – a challenge that was ultimately thwarted when he exceeded track limits on his last flying lap – before claiming his second F1 podium finish in the race.
With Mercedes engines in the back of their cars, McLaren look to have made another step up in terms of competitiveness this year having finished third in the 2020 Constructors’ World Championship.
