Lando Norris is relishing the opportunity to compare himself to two-time world champion Fernando Alonso when he makes next Formula 1 practice appearance at Monza next weekend.
McLaren Formula 1 driver Stoffel Vandoorne has changed chassis for this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix in a bid to remedy his long-running pace issues and lack of downforce.
McLaren had no option but to be ambitious in the design of its new Formula 1 car for the 2018 season despite enduring a difficult pre-season testing programme, according to racing director Eric Boullier.
Fernando Alonso enjoyed a successful first run-out in the new Renault-powered McLaren MCL33 Formula 1 car on Friday, and offered good early feedback by telling fans that "good times are coming" after three difficult years.
