Norris hopes 'different mindset' takes brakes off

LANDO Norris is prepared to use this weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix to experiment in a bid to feel comfortable with his car again.

The McLaren driver leads the championship by three points from team-mate Oscar Piastri after four races and has been on the podium at every weekend so far.

Yet he has continued to express frustration with his inability to get the maximum out of himself and his machinery.

He branded himself "clueless" over how to master it after qualifying sixth in Bahrain last weekend, before saying after finishing third in the race that he knows he has "what it takes" to conquer his issues. It was a similar topic in Jeddah on Thursday ahead of this weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, where Norris plans to try some new things in the hope that it all starts to click.
