Lando Norris has dismissed talk of ‘momentum’ now being in his favour for this year’s F1 title
Lando Norris has rejected the idea that the momentum in the F1 title race is now in his favor after winning the British Grand Prix.
Despite his victory at Silverstone, Norris actually inherited the win from teammate Oscar Piastri, who received a time penalty for a Safety Car violation.
While Piastri led early in the race, Norris showed he was a strong contender for the title as he pulled ahead after the final pit stops.
Currently, Norris is trailing Piastri by only eight points in the drivers’ championship standings.
However, Norris remains grounded and emphasizes the importance of taking each race as it comes, acknowledging the challenges and hard work required for success.
McLaren’s front suspension upgrade has played a role in Norris’ recent success, providing him with a better feel for the car compared to Piastri who has not adopted the new specification.
