诺里斯在波尔蒂芒的测试引发了外界猜测，认为这位F1明星正在为明年可能首次出战勒芒做准备
卫冕F1世界冠军兰多·诺里斯周一在波尔蒂芒完成了驾驶迈凯伦MCL-HY勒芒超级跑车的首次完整测试。
在上周末于新马德里环赛道举行的西班牙大奖赛中，他因虚拟安全车时机不佳而无缘胜利，随后他跨境前往葡萄牙参加为期一天的测试。
这位英国车手在阿尔加维国际赛道驾驶这辆V6动力赛车完成了38圈，全天累计行驶177公里。迈凯伦表示，他的测试项目包括测试多项开发部件，并凭借其在F1中的丰富经验提供反馈。
诺里斯在他的首次LMDh测试中得到了迈凯伦2027年车手米克尔·延森和劳伦斯·万索尔的协助，后者在这家英国品牌2027年Hypercar首秀前开展了进一步的开发工作。
“首先，非常感谢迈凯伦Hypercar车队让我驾驶MCL-HY，”他说。“他们能给我一个机会找点乐子、尝试新事物，尤其是在他们为明年忙碌备战期间，这太棒了。”
“我认为我们也收集了一些有价值的数据，我希望我能带来不同的感受、评论和视角，这对车队在这个关键测试阶段很有用。”
“对我个人来说，与这支车队合作很酷，尝试新机器也令人兴奋。我已经很多年没有在F1赛车之外做过真正的测试了，所以能尝试不同的东西，尤其是仍然作为迈凯伦大家庭的一部分，这非常特别。”
“这是在一辆快车和一条很酷的赛道上度过的有趣一天，帮助车队为明年WEC的开始做准备。非常感谢所有参与的人，我迫不及待想在未来再次驾驶这辆车。”
周一的测试之前，诺里斯曾在7月古德伍德速度节上该车公开亮相时首次体验MCL-HY。
迈凯伦赛车负责人扎克·布朗此前曾表示有兴趣让诺里斯和奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里参加世界耐力锦标赛的旗舰赛事，不过任何此类出战可能取决于车队是否额外派出第三辆车。
只有在明年与诺里斯的F1赛程没有冲突的情况下，出战勒芒才有可能。
虽然完整的2027年WEC赛历已在三个月前公布，勒芒暂定于6月12日至13日的周末举行，但由于西亚战争，F1尚未公布明年的赛程。
迈凯伦Hypercar车队领队詹姆斯·巴克利周一表示，未来诺里斯仍有进一步出战的可能，但没有明确提及任何参赛出场。
“我们在迈凯伦赛车都是赛车手，参加F1、INDYCAR和世界耐力锦标赛创造了令人兴奋的跨系列机会，”他说。
“兰多渴望在古德伍德爬山赛之后驾驶MCL-HY，所以我们邀请他参加我们在波尔蒂芒的私人测试。正如我们完全预料的那样，他适应得非常快，无缝融入，并提供了宝贵的反馈来支持赛车开发。”
“很高兴他能与车队在一起，我们祝愿他在F1赛季剩余时间里一切顺利，我们期待很快欢迎他回到迈凯伦Hypercar车队。”

Lando Norris completes first full test in McLaren’s Le Mans Hypercar
Norris’s Portimao test has sparked rumours about the Formula 1 star preparing for a potential debut at Le Mans next year
Reigning Formula 1 champion Lando Norris completed his first full-fledged test at the wheel of the McLaren MCL-HY Le Mans Hypercar at Portimao on Monday.
Following last weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix at the new Madring circuit in which he was denied victory by an ill-timed Virtual Safety Car, Norris travelled across the border to Portugal for a one-day test.
The Briton completed 38 laps of the Algarve International Circuit in the V6-powered challenger, logging a total of 177km through the day. McLaren said his programme included testing several development items and providing feedback through his immense experience in F1.
Norris was assisted in his first LMDh test by the McLaren’s 2027 drivers Mikkel Jensen and Laurens Vanthoor, who carried out further development work ahead of the British brand’s Hypercar debut in 2027.
"First of all, a big thanks to the McLaren Hypercar Team for letting me drive the MCL-HY,” he said. “It was great for them to give me a chance to have a bit of fun and try something new, particularly during their busy preparations for next year.
“I think we also collected some valuable data, and I hope I was able to bring a different set of feelings, comments, and perspectives on things, which is useful for the team in this crucial testing period.
“It was cool for me personally to work with this team, and it was exciting to try new machinery too. I've not done a proper test in anything other than an F1 car for years now, so the fact I got to try something different, especially still as part of the McLaren family, was very special.
“It was a fun day in a quick car on a cool track, helping the team prepare for the start of WEC next year. A big thanks to everyone involved, I can't wait to get back in the car in the future.”
Monday’s test follows Norris sampling the MCL-HY for the first time at the car’s public debut at the Goodwood Festival of the Speed in July.
McLaren Racing boss Zak Brown had previously shown interest in fielding both Norris and Oscar Piastri in the World Endurance Championship’s blue-riband event, although any such outing may rely on the team running an additional third car.
A Le Mans outing would only be possible if there are no clashes with Norris’ F1 commitments next year.
While the full 2027 WEC calendar was already revealed three months ago, with Le Mans pencilled in for the weekend of 12-13 June, F1 is yet to publish its schedule for next year amid the war in West Asia.
Speaking on Monday, McLaren Hypercar team principal James Barclay left the door open for further outings for Norris in the future, without explicitly referring to any race appearances.
“We are all racers at McLaren Racing, and competing in Formula 1, INDYCAR and the World Endurance Championship creates exciting cross-series opportunities,” he said.
“Lando was keen to drive the MCL-HY beyond his Goodwood Hill run, so we invited him to join our private Portimão test. As we fully expected he adapted very quickly, integrated seamlessly and provided valuable feedback to support the car’s development.
"It was a pleasure to have him with the team, we wish him every success for the rest of the Formula 1 season, and we look forward to welcoming him back into the McLaren Hypercar Team soon.”
