2023 Fantasy Outlook
Norris' fourth season in Formula One- and subsequent fourth season with McLaren - was a bit of a step down from his 2021 season performance-wise, as both himself and former teammate Daniel Ricciardo expressed frustration with the consistency of the car at times during the year. A lack of front-end grip is seemingly to blame for Norris' singular podium finish in 2022, despite him being the only driver not out of the Top 3 constructors (Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes) to do so. Regardless of the car's shortcomings, Norris was able to get a bit more performance out of his MCL36 than his previous teammate during the season and was McLaren's primary points-winner in the battle for the Constructor's Championship. Finishing in the Top 10 sixteen times over the course of the season, the driver of the No. 4 made a valiant effort to keep his team in the running- only for Alpine to end up finishing ahead of McLaren, clinching fourth-place by 14 points. This season, Norris hopes to make a statement as one of the more talented youths on the grid but will have to overcome yet another temperamental car if McLaren is unable to address the issues identified in 2022.

Mechanical Failure
Norris suffered a mechanical failure and finished 18th in the Dutch Grand Prix Formula 1 race at Circuit Zandvoort on Sunday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
Norris would lose P2 to Max Verstappen on the opening lap but he would soon regain that position a few laps later when Max Verstappen's soft tyres would fall off in pace. The McLaren star would ride P2 most of the way and mount a challenge to Oscar Piastri down the stretch for the win. However, with 8 laps to go his McLaren would start to puff smoke and Norris would report a problem over the radio. A power unit failure would bring out the safety car and bring Norris' day to an early end in the Dutch GP.
