“I don’t think Oscar Piastri has got into Lando Norris’s head, I think Lando got into his own head.”
F1 legend Jacques Villeneuve believes Lando Norris still has the edge over Oscar Piastri in pace, but he thinks the British driver has “got into his own head.” Norris has had a challenging start to the 2025 F1 season marked by errors, with his last win dating back to the season-opening Australian Grand Prix. In contrast, teammate Piastri has won four of the subsequent five races, seizing the lead in the F1 drivers’ championship. Piastri currently holds a 16-point lead over Norris heading into the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix this weekend. Villeneuve assesses that while Norris may still be faster on track, Piastri appears more composed and has shown improvement compared to last year. It’s noted that Norris seems to be struggling with the pressure this season, while Piastri appears confident and ready to fight for the title, leaving Norris in a challenging position to catch up.
