Brown: 'McLaren will give Norris time to develop'

McLaren boss Zak Brown says that Lando Norris will be given time to prove himself in his debut season of Grand Prix racing.

McLaren has decided to give one of their seats to the young 19-year-old Brit meaning that Stoffel Vandoorne was left without a drive.

"Formula 1 can be a pretty cruel environment," the McLaren boss told The Sun.

Brown has promised to give Norris time to prove himself.

Carlos Sainz will also be driving for McLaren next season.

McLaren will hope that they can start to improve their performances this season.
