Brown warns Lando Norris: "Don't make same mistake twice!"

McLaren's F1 CEO Zak Brown thinks his rookie Lando Norris will do well straight away in Formula 1 despite being the team's youngest ever driver, although the American warns Norris to not make the same mistakes several times.

Norris will line up next to Carlos Sainz Jr. in an all-new line-up for the Woking-based team as the team looks to build on last year's P6 finish in the constructors' championship.

Even though Norris will be a 19-year-old rookie, Brown is confident his pupil will adapt to his new car well.

"I think Lando will hit the ground running and be on it right away," the American said at the MCL34's launch on Thursday.

The teenager has his work cut out for him, then. In Sainz, he'll have a quick and experienced F1 driver next to him, so it will be interesting to see how he will stack up against the Spaniard.
