“I will say something that’s not too crazy, but they do very well at helping me stay fresh on race day,” said the eight-time race winner.
“There’s been many times where we sweat in our suits and sometimes we use too many on a race weekend and we need to get them expressed cleaned or washed in a short amount of time.
“They’re very quick and efficient with bringing smelly dirty clothes back clean and wonderful.”
McLaren suffered a difficult weekend in Miami overall, with the cars appearing off the pace compared to recent races. This was compounded by Norris’ collision with Pierre Gasly late in the race,…
