Formula One championship leader Lando Norris believes McLaren's strong start to the season is the result not only of having the best car but also the best combination of drivers on the grid.

McLaren have won the opening two races of the season, Norris triumphing in Australia before Oscar Piastri led home a one-two for the team in China.

For the first time in over a decade, McLaren were heavy favourites heading into this season. They certainly met expectations in the opening rounds, with Norris and Piastri enjoying a comfortable advantage on race day – both in Australia and China.
