Lando Norris shares Oscar Piastri prediction after denying him F1 title
“Lando Norris believes McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri ‘will be a world champion’ one day after denying him a maiden F1 world title in 2025. Norris clinched his first world championship by finishing third at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, just two points ahead of Max Verstappen and 13 clear of Piastri. It marked F1’s closest finish in 15 years and made Norris the 11th Briton to win the drivers’ championship. Norris was 34 points behind Piastri with nine races remaining, but a strong performance, including wins in Mexico and Brazil, propelled him to the top of the F1 standings. The 26-year-old held his nerve at Yas Marina to secure his first F1 drivers’ crown. Despite his win, Norris has praised Piastri’s talent, who led the championship for 15 rounds in 2025.”
