Lando Norris was satisfied with McLaren’s first day of running a newly-upgraded car at the Dutch Grand Prix, but the Briton believes that Mercedes are likely to be the faster team during the weekend.
Amid mixed weather conditions in FP1 following early rainfall, Norris topped the timesheets as the track dried throughout the session. However, it was George Russell who set the pace for the Silver Arrows in dry but windy weather during FP2, while Norris logged the fourth fastest time.

Reflecting on how he had found the day’s running as F1 returned from its summer break, Norris commented: “Pretty good. Nice to be back in the car. I think Zandvoort’s a tough one to come back to straightaway just because it’s quick and it’s up and down, it’s twisty, a bit of everything.
“So yeah, nice, first day back in the car. A bit of progress needs to be made before tomorrow.”
