The rule of question headlines dictates that the answer is probably no, but upgrades debuted in Miami provide a rare spark of serious hope for a Red Bull adversary.
For more than five years, Lando Norris was a rising star missing the Formula 1 win that would make him a real contender. Then McLaren introduced a series of upgrades to its 2024 car at the Miami Grand Prix, and on race day a safety car came out at just the right time. Norris was handed the lead by fortuitous timing, but an incredible stint saw him pull away from Red Bull's Max Verstappen for an undeniable debut win. Now the question is not if he will win but how many wins he can collect.
in the past year, but those were not competitive. In one case, the team's cars were not up to their usual speed for the entire 2023 Singapore Grand Prix weekend. In another, Sainz won in Australia only after Verstappen retired early. This weekend, Norris restarted directly in front of Verstappen in a fully healthy car and still won the head-to-head battle.The team's qualifying pace was less encouraging, and that may be a cause for alarm going forward.
