The reigning world champion took to Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Wednesday in the new McLaren, completing 76 laps in a black-and-grey testing livery. It marked the first time since the 2010 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that the #1 had displayed on a McLaren. “It was nice to be back,” Norris said. “Still a surreal feeling, the whole situation of being champion,” Norris said. “Today was really a first understanding of the whole car, understanding how it works, going through the manual of everything,” he said.
