Lando Norris is fast enough to be an F1 champion…but he won’t be
It is becoming increasingly clear that Lando Norris is unlikely to become an F1 world champion, a sentiment that has been circulating since at least the 2024 Dutch Grand Prix. The recent Belgian Grand Prix only solidified this belief for many observers. Critics point to Norris’ lack of mental fortitude and consistent performance as barriers to championship success. While he may be one of McLaren’s fastest drivers, he has struggled to match his teammate’s composure and error-free driving under pressure. As the competition intensifies and the 2023 regulation changes draw nearer, Norris must address his tendency to make costly mistakes if he hopes to challenge for the title. Despite his immense talent, Norris will need to elevate his game to join the ranks of F1 champions.
