McLaren thinks that Red Bull is \u201cstill a step too far away\u201d despite a bullish radio message from Lando Norris after Formula 1\u2019s Japanese Grand Prix.
at Suzuka, the Briton came on the team radio and said:"Double podium. We are coming for Red Bull."
While he is delighted with the progress that has been made through 2023, he thinks that Red Bull, especially with Max Verstappen at the wheel, is not yet within touching distance in pure pace terms. "There's a variability of tracks left in the season, but none of these tracks has the Singapore characteristics.
"So we'll have to be realistic that we'll need some situations to happen to be able to make the final step."
