The return to the legendary circuit of Mugello is circled in the agenda of many Formula 1 fans, but Lando Norris tempers expectations in the run-up to the Grand Prix. However, the driver of McLaren is looking forward to the Grand Prix.
When Norris raced in Mugello in 2015 as a Formula 4 driver, he noticed that overtaking was difficult. "I'm afraid it's going to be a problem. The fast corners will put the physical characteristics of the driver to the test, this is really Formula 1 at the limit. But it's not the best track to race on. I don't expect you to see overtaking between the first and last corner. It's a bit like Hungary", he said in conversation with Motorsport.com.
Great race
Yet Norris is happy with the return of Mugello on the calendar. "It's always a great race. Every new circuit is fun. It's something different, something different from normal. You go there without knowing exactly what to do in terms of tuning and that makes you more vulnerable. It's more challenging and I think that's a lot of fun."
