How you look at McLaren's decision to hand Lando Norris his Formula 1 debut next season depends on whether your cup is half-full or half-empty.
The positive, bordering on naive, outlook brings feelings of optimism and excitement over the prospect of 'the next Lewis Hamilton' ushering in a new era for McLaren as the fallen giant picks itself back up.
The negative, bordering on cynical, view harbours scepticism of McLaren's ability to escape its current malaise and fears it will just repeat its recent failings and cause another rising star to burn out.
