Seidl discusses that Norris can keep his P3
McLaren team boss Andreas Seidl believes the Briton has outperformed the car this season. However, he fears that Mercedes and Red Bull with superior cars would make it difficult for Lando to maintain his third place in the championship.
“Whether it’s a realistic goal [for Norris to keep P3] is difficult to say because the Red Bull car and the Mercedes car are clearly a better car and Valtteri and Checo have shown what they can do in some great races this year and in the past, ”said Seidl.
