The success of the McLaren F.1 in Munich had been missing since 2008: the sporting result of Norris and the team is a powerful message to the rivals, if we think that a few years ago the British team sailed in difficult waters
The victory of Norris in Montecarlo and the lesson for Ferrari McLaren had not won in Montecarlo for seventeen years. The last to impose himself in the streets of the Principality with the Woking car had been Sir Lewis Hamilton back in 2008, the year of his first world title. Therefore the triumph obtained from Lando Norris has a historical value. The Inglesino, who lives in the kingdom of the Grimaldi and runs through the circuit every day to go for a walk or in the restaurant, managed to tick it thanks to the fantastic torn pole in qualifying to the Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, a mortgage on success. Then Lando in the race was perfect, avoiding the errors and carelessness that sometimes captain, so much so that they deserve the coronation. But the statement in Montecarlo also has a great symbolic value for McLaren.
