P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Martin Brundle has questioned whether lacking a “killer instinct “versus Max Verstappen has cost Lando Norris in the 2024 F1 title fight.
The McLaren driver has won three races in the 2024 F1 season, but dropping to sixth place in Brazil puts him 62 points behind Verstappen. Despite Norris’ setbacks, Martin Brundle believes he will learn from this season’s challenges and improve for 2025. Verstappen’s dominance and McLaren’s sudden competitiveness have given Norris an outside chance to fight for his first F1 title. Brundle emphasizes the importance of Norris improving his aggressiveness in wheel-to-wheel racing and learning from his experiences this year. The gap to Verstappen remains a significant challenge for Norris to realistically overcome in the remaining races of the season. Brundle acknowledges the difficulty of consistently outperforming Verstappen and the need for Norris to capitalize on every opportunity to stay in contention for the championship.
