Lando Norris: McLaren confused about setup direction after difficult Friday at Monza

Lando Norris admitted McLaren have no clear setup direction at Monza after a difficult Friday at the 2026 Italian Grand Prix on September 4. The reigning F1 World Champion finished fourth in FP2, 0.384 seconds behind pace-setter George Russell, with Kimi Antonelli and Charles Leclerc also ahead of him. Norris expressed concern that the MCL40 performed unexpectedly, being weak in corners where strength was anticipated and vice versa, leaving him doubtful about pole position prospects.
