When Lando Norris was asked about Alonso's previous comment, he clapped back at the Spanish driver and stated:

"Unless his maths is deteriorating, which it definitely isn't ... Fernando is just Fernando – he's always going to say things. He always makes himself look very good or makes other people look bad. He's very good at that."

With only six more races left in the 2023 season, McLaren appears to be improving their performance. It is not impossible to think that they would overtake Aston Martin in the Constructors' standing by the end of the season.
