Lando Norris is fourth in the 2026 drivers' championship on 186 points. Across 161 Formula 1 Grands Prix for McLaren from 2019 to 2026, he has recorded 11 wins and 16 pole positions.

BBC Sport reported that Norris said he was "paying the price" for the effort behind his 2025 title, adding context to his current season. The same report said Norris described McLaren as a "different vibe" for Max Verstappen.
