“For the first time it was a really great feeling - after my test in Hungary, I am happy to confirm that these cars are much more intense and faster to drive and in this new chapter it feels a lot,” commented Norris. "I think people will have a lot of fun driving these cars in F1 2017."


He continued: “It was a truly enjoyable experience to be able to relive several chapters of McLaren's past driving the classic cars of 1988, 1991, '98 and 2008, each representing a world championship success for the team. The 2008 winning car is very powerful and offers a lot of fun. Classic cars are truly the icing on the cake of this title “.
