Lando Norris acknowledged that the 2025 Formula 1 title battle with McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri will come down to the one making fewer errors rather than outright performance.
Norris had a series of mistakes, including starting out of position in Bahrain, a costly qualifying crash in Saudi Arabia, underperforming in Q3 at Miami and Imola, and losing pole position in Barcelona due to “little mistakes.”
In Montreal, he started in 7th due to a messy qualifying, and a race-ending collision with Piastri on the start-finish straight led to missed championship points.
Despite a few errors, Norris mostly finished on the podium, but Piastri took advantage of opportunities, securing more poles and wins.
Norris attributed some errors to struggling with the car’s handling, while acknowledging Piastri’s comfort in the 2025 car and their close battle.
Going into Austria, Norris was behind Piastri by 22 points, recognizing the need to minimize mistakes for a decisive title fight.
