The team showed very serious progress in 2023, so their fans have every right to expect further development this year. So far we haven't seen much chance of that, but something moved at the Chinese Grand Prix...
And at the next race, a serious development package is coming, which is expected to make another big leap for the team. In fact, they have much bolder plans than this!
"We had some setbacks this year, because previously we mostly moved forward because they didn't develop as much. However, if we look at things in the long term, we get a much more positive picture, which shows that we have set out on a serious and strong development path. If we can maintain what we have been producing for a while, it means that we can catch up with Red Bull Racing within a year. Our first major development package is coming in Miami, and Lando Norris' increasingly strong performance is also a reason for optimism. He is getting better and better in intense racing situations, his single-lap pace is great, he is becoming an increasingly smart and precise driver. He does a great job with the engineers, he has a hand in many small modifications, and he is able to exploit the potential of the car better and better. This is his merit, and ours will be if we can put a car under his back that has a chance of winning the world championship title." - praised his team and driver, team principal Andrea Stella.
