P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Norris is ONE race away from achieving what no other F1 driver can do
In 2025 at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Lando Norris achieved the unique feat of being the only driver on the grid to win their home race, bolstering his position as the championship leader after a stunning win at Silverstone and an earlier triumph in Mexico.
Norris’s chance to claim this accolade is further solidified as the only remaining country on the calendar represented by a driver is Brazil where Sauber driver Gabriel Bortoleto hails from, making it highly probable that Norris will maintain his unique achievement.
With the upcoming crucial Brazilian Grand Prix weekend and the return of the sprint race offering eight additional points, Max Verstappen needs a win in Brazil to stay within reach of Norris at the top of the standings.
Verstappen’s previous success in challenging conditions in Brazil, rocketing from P17 to a memorable victory in 2024, underlines the significance of the upcoming race for his championship aspirations this season.
