Red Bull has cruised to double championship success over the last two years but looks to be facing a heightened challenge in 2024.
Lando Norris believes Max Verstappen could face challenges in his quest for a fourth Formula 1 title due to Mercedes’ improved performance. Mercedes, after a shaky start, showed strong pace in Canada with George Russell and could impact the competition. Verstappen currently leads the drivers’ standings by 56 points, with McLaren and Ferrari also upping their game. Norris acknowledges it won’t be easy to catch Verstappen, but sees more opportunities if Mercedes stays competitive. He admires Verstappen’s consistency but points out that added pressure could lead to more mistakes, making the title race unpredictable.
