.McLarenF1 insists a mystery piece of debris Lando Norris removed from his car at the end of the FrenchGP was not the cause of his struggles in the race. Story:
However, the mystery piece of debris that the Englishman retrieved from the right sidepod of his McLaren MCL36 in parc ferme was not to blame.
Norris had done a great job to qualify fifth with the upgraded car, but after a bad start he lost out to both George Russell and Alonso. He gained a place when Charles Leclerc crashed, but later lost out to Carlos Sainz."But I don't think it changed our race in any way, Fernando still would have passed me.
"The new tyres, low fuel hides a lot of our issues and problems, and as soon as we get into high fuel, old tyres, just all those issues are exposed, and we're just quite slow. "Yeah, it's true at certain tracks, but a lot of tracks you still want a good race car. You need a good package. You need one that's good in qualifying and good in the race. Because even though I was ahead of George yesterday [Saturday], he still finished on the podium.
