Lando Norris is chaꦚsing a reverse of fortunes as he prepares for this weekend’s Bahrai♛n Grand Prix, the first of three races that will bring the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship to its conclusion.

In a season that has seen the front-to-mid-pack battle come alive with four teams in close contention for third in the con🍸structors’ standings behind Mercedes and Red Bull, McLaren is within touching distance of its best overall finish in eight years.

As it stands, Racing Point currently holds the position but McLaren breathes down its neck in fourth just five poi🥃nts shy of its rivals, while Renault and Ferrari have made advances in recent races thanks to the🔯ir respective returns to the podium.

For Norris, his form has flဣuctuated recently with a pair of eighth place finishes following a run of thꩲree non-scores that have dropped back to eighth overall.

However, he’s feeling bullish about the upcoming trio of races, two of which will be held on dif♊ferent configurations of the Bahrain Sakhir circuit, before Abu Dhabi conclud🃏es the season at Yas Marina.

“We’re ending the season just like we started it with one final triple-header, and I can’t wait get back into the rhythm of racing back-to-back again. It’s definitely going to be a tough challenge as w𒊎e haven’t had a triple-header in a while, but we’re going to g🐻ive it everything. 

“Turk🌠ey sꦡhowed that we’re still in the fight and anything can happen. We just need to make every session count and most of all focus on ourselves. 

“The circuit in Bahrain usually makes for some good wheel-to-wheel racing with plenty of chances to overtake, especially with the thre🔯e DRS zones. Looking back at last year, Bahrain was one of my best races and it’s where I scored my first points in Fo♔rmula 1. 

“Hopefully we can continue to score some important points this weekend and kick off the triple-header str�🥂�ong.”
