McLaren had huge disappointment at the F1 2019 Belgian Grand Prix last weekend with both drivers failing to finish the race. Lando Norris had an engine failure on the final lap of the race and will be hoping to put this right at the Italian Grand Prix this weekend. 

"Despite the disappointment of the last race, there were a number of positives that we could take from our performance on Sunday," Norris said. "We had a stronger pace than expected during the race and I was on course for my career-best result.

"I'm aiming to take that performance into the next weekend and challenge for points in Monza."

Norris is familiar with Monza and will hope to perform well at the high-speed circuit. 

"It's a track I know quite well having taken part in FP1 and Formula 2 last year and I've also raced there a few times before in the junior formula. It's a very quick track, the quickest of the year, which means it's also one of the most exciting circuits on the calendar."

Norris will hope that he can get a good result to make up for the disappointment of what happened at the Belgian Grand Prix.
