Imola, Italy: Lando Norris believes McLaren will be fighting regularly for race victories after narrowly missing out on his second win in Sunday's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

The Briton, who scored his maiden triumph in Miami two weeks earlier, finished only 0.725 seconds behind victorious three-time champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull after a vain late charge.

"I think we're now at the point where we can happily say we are in the position of Ferrari and Red Bull and that's what we have to get used to now," he said.

"It's frustrating and it's painful!

"The team are doing a good job. I think we're all doing a very good job so it's business as usual and it's focusing on doing the same things. It's just now we are fighting for first or second.
