Lando Norris is adamant the F1 drivers’ title is a three-way fight, but that a McLaren driver will win it.
Lando Norris believes that either himself or Oscar Piastri will win the F1 drivers’ title this year, but he is cautious of the increasing threat posed by Max Verstappen. Piastri currently holds a 25-point lead over Norris before the Singapore Grand Prix, with Verstappen trailing a further 44 points behind. Despite Verstappen being 69 points adrift of Piastri, Norris sees him as a genuine contender after his recent consecutive wins. Norris acknowledges Verstappen’s progress since Red Bull’s new floor introduction and acknowledges the team’s improved performance. While respecting Verstappen’s capabilities, Norris remains focused on his own performance, hoping it will be sufficient to claim his first championship title. In an interview with Dutch publication De Limburger, Norris praised Max’s skills and acknowledged the level playing field heading into the final race in Abu Dhabi.
