2023 Fantasy Outlook
Norris' fourth season in Formula One- and subsequent fourth season with McLaren - was a bit of a step down from his 2021 season performance-wise, as both himself and former teammate Daniel Ricciardo expressed frustration with the consistency of the car at times during the year. A lack of front-end grip is seemingly to blame for Norris' singular podium finish in 2022, despite him being the only driver not out of the Top 3 constructors (Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes) to do so. Regardless of the car's shortcomings, Norris was able to get a bit more performance out of his MCL36 than his previous teammate during the season and was McLaren's primary points-winner in the battle for the Constructor's Championship. Finishing in the Top 10 sixteen times over the course of the season, the driver of the No. 4 made a valiant effort to keep his team in the running- only for Alpine to end up finishing ahead of McLaren, clinching fourth-place by 14 points. This season, Norris hopes to make a statement as one of the more talented youths on the grid but will have to overcome yet another temperamental car if McLaren is unable to address the issues identified in 2022.

Grabs P1 in Sprint Qualifying
Formula One
April 19, 2024
Norris was full of smiles after setting the pace in an action-packed, rain-hit Sprint Qualifying session at the Chinese Grand Prix, with the McLaren driver producing a superb final lap to top the time sheets, Formula1.com reports.
ANALYSIS
In contrast to the day's earlier practice at the Shanghai International Circuit, rain would affect Sprint qualifying. The wet stuff would begin to fall during SQ2 and force teams onto intermediate tyres. A parade of drivers would push down the lap times leading up to the checkered flag, but it would be Norris with a fantastic final flying lap that would capture P1. His lap of 1:57.940 set the pace and beat out Lewis Hamilton to claim pole. The McLaren star will roll off first in Saturday's Sprint in China.
