Lando Norris has said he’s ready to “bring the fight to everyone” as he chases a maiden Formula 1 title in 2025, but who is best placed to stop him?
In 2024, Lando Norris had a breakout year with McLaren, achieving his maiden Grand Prix victory in Miami, contributing to McLaren’s resurgence. Despite showing strong potential with four GP wins and assisting in McLaren securing their first Constructors’ title since 1998, Norris fell short in the Drivers’ title race against Max Verstappen. Reflecting on his performance, Norris expressed pride in overcoming pressure, learning from mistakes, and focusing on the future to challenge for the title in 2025. Moving forward, Norris will face competition from his McLaren teammate, Oscar Piastri, who has shown improvement and potential but needs to address weaknesses in one-lap pace to compete at the highest level. Verstappen, the reigning champion, remains a formidable opponent, known for his brilliance under pressure and strategic racecraft, setting the stage for an exciting and competitive 2025 F1 season.
