'Norris has good news for McLaren in Monaco'
Lando Norris was not seen at the FIA's press conference on Friday morning. However, it does appear that the British driver will be in action at this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix, Albert Fabrega reported on social media.
The McLaren driver had a tough time in Barcelona last weekend. This was not only due to the extremely hot weather on the track, also his inflamed tonsils did not play a positive role for him. Nevertheless, he managed to complete the race.
Norris then had to take it easy for days and hoped to be back in action this weekend in Monaco. Although his team was in limbo, Norris reportedly just got into his McLaren on Friday to complete free practice. However, the press conference was still too much for him, the journalist let us know.
Norris está bien para pilotar pero ha recibido permiso para no ir a la rueda de prensa FIA por temas médicos y concentrarse en pilotar.

Norris will be fit to drive but he has been given an exemption from FIA press conference duties on medical grounds so he can focus on driving.
