Norris blasts ‘clueless’ Verstappen for ‘talking nonsense’
McLaren F1 star Lando Norris criticized Max Verstappen for making baseless claims during the battle for the 2025 drivers’ title. The current championship duel also involves Oscar Piastri, who led the standings for 15 rounds earlier in the season. While Piastri seemed like a strong contender, Norris emerged victorious in recent months. Despite Verstappen’s win in the Qatar Grand Prix, all three drivers are still in the running, with Norris leading at 408 points, followed by Verstappen at 396, and Piastri at 392. Verstappen’s pre-race comments insinuating he would have secured the title earlier if in the MCL39 sparked a reaction from Norris, who dismissed them as “nonsense” and highlighted the Red Bull driver’s tendency to speak aggressively.
