Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris duo “best driver pair” on the grid, claims F1 pundit

British F1 journalist Peter Windsor has claimed that McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris form the “best driver pairing” on the current F1 grid. He feels that the strong driver line-up will give the team an advantage over the rest of the grid in the upcoming season when all new aero regulations come into force.

Speaking of McLaren’s prospects in a video posted on his YouTube channel, Windsor said:

Windsor predicts Ferrari will have tougher competition in 2022, if McLaren were to produce a good car. While the two former championship rivals battled for third-spot last year, the new regulations could very well help them return to their old winning ways.
