McLaren's Podium Push in Japan

0:00It's March 29th. This is F1 News Today, AI-powered updates on your team. I'm Cory with the story. McLaren hit their best scoring round yet at the Japanese Grand Prix, with Oscar Piaztery grabbing second and Lando Norris landing fifth to Snag. 28 points total. They bounce back strong after that double no-start mess in China, putting both cars in the top five for the first time this season. First called it full of good signs, starting quick to jump to third early on, then battling hard against George Russell's speedy Mercedes and swapping spots with Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari late in the race. He nailed the final pass on Hamilton with just two laps left, saving tires smart after the safety car and shining in the few laps of clean air he got. Overall, fixing hydraulic and power unit glitches let them maximize the car here, proving even if they're not quite at the top pace a little more. We could make McLaren real contender soon.
