McLaren's F1 leader tells Red Bull to stop moaning about others and do a better job
-
SAKHIR, Bahrain - Red Bull should complain less about other teams and focus more on doing a better job with their own, said McLaren's Formula One championship leader Lando Norris.
Norris goes into this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix a point clear of Red Bull's Max Verstappen, winner in Japan last weekend, after three rounds.
McLaren ended Red Bull's reign as world champions last season, although Verstappen took his fourth successive drivers' title, and there has been plenty of talk about where their speed is coming from.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner has pointed to a coming technical directive, clamping down on front-wing flex, as a potential game changer from Race 9.
But Norris dismissed that, telling British media: "We're all fully within the rules. We're doing a good job. Red Bull have had plenty of time to do the same thing as us and they're not."
"It is more that they should do a better job rather than keep complaining about things," added the Briton, who was runner-up to Verstappen in 2024.
"We respect the FIA doing what they're doing and we're happy that they keep trying to correct things because we don't want anyone outside of those rules, but the last ones didn't affect us.
