Norris Cautious Despite McLaren's Strong Start in Abu Dhabi

Lando Norris expressed caution over McLaren's impressive practice performance at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, suggesting their pace "looks better than it is" and predicting a "tough fight" in qualifying. Despite leading a one-two finish with teammate Oscar Piastri in the second practice session, Norris believes rivals may close the gap as the weekend progresses. Both drivers are focused on optimizing car balance and tire management to maintain their advantage, as McLaren aims to secure their first constructors' championship since 1998, holding a 21-point lead over Ferrari.
