Why Ferrari Could Steal the Show at the Canadian GP, According to Lando Norris
As anticipation builds for this weekend’s Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix, Lando Norris of McLaren has thrown Ferrari into the spotlight, suggesting they might just edge out their competitors for the win. His bold assertion comes amid a season where both McLaren and Ferrari have begun to challenge Red Bull's long-standing dominance.
The recent upgrades to McLaren’s cars were showcased spectacularly when Norris clinched his first victory at the Miami Grand Prix. This triumph was no fluke; he almost surged past Max Verstappen at Imola, demonstrating McLaren's newfound prowess. Meanwhile, Ferrari seized their opportunity in Monaco. Charles Leclerc joyfully ended his home race winless streak, underlining Ferrari's growing competitiveness.
Ferrari’s strength in Monaco was evident, largely due to the SF-24's superior handling over the circuit's notorious kerbs and bumps. Norris notes that this same factor could be decisive in Montreal.
