Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>McLaren impressed with their new-found speed at Silverstone on Sunday but Lando Norris warned there would still be times when they looked painfully slow.<\/p>\n

Norris finished second behind Red Bull\u2019s runaway championship leader Max Verstappen for the team\u2019s first podium appearance in the 10th race of a season they started on the back foot. His McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri finished fourth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was amazing to watch how good his car was in high speed,\u201d commented Mercedes\u2019 seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who finished third after chasing Norris to the chequered flag.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat McLaren is a rocket ship. At high speed it was insane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Norris felt the aerodynamically upgraded Mercedes-powered car was indeed very competitive, and almost on a par with dominant Red Bull on the high-speed parts of the circuit.<\/p>\n

\u201cTowards the medium speed (areas) like Stowe, I would say we\u2019re close to being the best car on the grid,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we do have a poor car and I say poor, I would say pretty terrible, in the slow-speed corners. Extremely difficult to drive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to go to a couple of tracks coming up where I\u2019m sure people are going to be saying, \u2018What have you done now?\u2019 Like, \u2018How has it got so bad all of a sudden?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just this track\u2019s allowed us to look after the tyres nicely, keep them in a good condition. Simple as that. So a lot of it is track-specific.\u201d<\/p>\n

McLaren moved up to fifth overall in the standings, ahead of Renault-owned Alpine who failed to score a point at Silverstone with two retirements. Ferrari are fourth and 98 points further down the road. The podium was the team\u2019s first at Silverstone since Hamilton in 2010.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to get too excited, but good things have come from the upgrade,\u201d said Norris.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut there\u2019s still plenty of things which are miles away from, say, competing in certain places with a Mercedes and as a whole package competing even with a Red Bull. So a lot more work to be done from both of those areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team boss Andrea Stella said the indications were encouraging but McLaren had also surprised themselves by being able to keep ahead of Ferrari and Mercedes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we have to acknowledge that the improvement seems to be genuine here in terms of race pace,\u201d said the Italian, who added that the cooler temperatures also helped with tyre management.<\/p>\n
