LANDO Norris: what's goin' on?

On the one hand Bahrain gave us the brilliance of Oscar Piastri and the McLaren MCL39-Mercedes. On the other, Lando Norris, in the same car, could finish only third, beaten also by George Russell's factory Mercedes. Lando's troubles began in qualifying, where he struggled in Q3 under pressure - and they were compounded by errors in the race. So what's going on? Many touted Lando, pre-season, as the McLaren driver most likely to win the 2025 World Drivers' Championship. Is Oscar over-performing (according to predictions) - or is Lando facing problems never envisaged? Responding to questions from Cameron on the Monday after the Bahrain GP, Peter Windsor lights it up.

Dexter Windsor, a crucial member of our production team, was adopted as a puppy from the brilliant Álora Dogs Home in Malaga, Spain. Many of Álora's kennels were destroyed in recent storms, however, so this is a shout-out to anyone who might be able to adopt or sponsor one of our unsheltered friends - or who could perhaps help the repairs there with a small donation. Thanks, as always.
