Racing driver and Sky F1 pundit Naomi Schiff gave her opinion on Lando Norris and McLaren's team's chances of competing for Grand Prix wins.

Sky F1 pundit Naomi Schiff revealed she had a chance to talk to Norris more than once in 2023, and he seemed fully committed to his team as he believes he can win a Championship with McLaren. She said on Sky F1’s end-of-season review:

"I had the chance to sit down with Lando twice this season and he maintains the fact that he will become World Champion with this team. He seems fully committed to them. He wants to win his first race with them and he believes it’s going to happen next season."

The British team, with their British driver, seems to be on the right trajectory going into the 2024 season with the new, latest technology wind tunnel, simulators, and manufacturing unit that will help them with car upgrades.
