McLaren is still trying to put the 'jigsaw' puzzle together of how it was so surprisingly competitive at Formula 1's Austin and Mexico City races.
McLaren was braced for a difficult triple-header with races in Texas, Mexico and Brazil on three circuits that it feared would expose its slow-speed weakness and not cater to its high-downforce prowess. But the team's genuine pessimism proved unfounded as it scored another podium with Lando Norris at the US Grand Prix, and the Briton produced a stellar drive to move up from 17th to fifth in Mexico, his race pace easily being good enough for a podium.

At its favoured Losail circuit in Qatar, Oscar Piastri and Norris qualified first and second for the sprint, and Norris also qualified on the front two rows in Austin. In Mexico, Piastri qualified half a second from pole in seventh, while Norris was knocked out in Q1 after failing to set a competitive lap.
