Summary
In a very special episode of The Race F1 podcast, recorded at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Edd Straw speaks to Lando Norris, Lando's race engineer Will Joseph, and McLaren CEO Zak Brown as they approach the one-year anniversary of that breakthrough victory at the Miami Grand Prix in 2024.
After discussing, with Joseph, McLaren's progress over the last 12 months and the 'privilege' of being able to fight for the world title, Norris opens up about the 'complicated' process of extracting that last tenth of performance from a car - and how easy it is to make unforced errors when you're not completely comfortable.
Following that, Edd speaks to Zak Brown about how he's built McLaren into a F1's current standard setters, both on and off track, with Brown explaining, amongst other things, why he wanted Andrea Stella to lead the race team and why he wouldn't want to swap either of his drivers for anyone else.
