Lando Norris could be the loser from Max Verstappen’s renewed threat in F1 as he tries to hunt down Oscar Piastri.
Lando Norris has been cautioned that he could miss out on valuable points in the F1 title race due to Max Verstappen’s resurgence. After a disappointing DNF at the Dutch Grand Prix, Norris fell 31 points behind his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri in the drivers’ championship. Despite finishing second in the Italian GP, Verstappen’s return to form denied Norris a win and he now faces a significant gap in the title race. Verstappen, currently 94 points behind Piastri, could influence the title fight by taking points from both Norris and Piastri. This development is seen as a major concern for Norris by former F1 driver Perry McCarthy. McCarthy highlights the importance of Norris winning races and maximizing points to overcome the deficit caused by previous setbacks. In conclusion, the resurgence of Verstappen poses a significant challenge for Norris’s championship aspirations in the remaining races of the season.
