P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Lando Norris finished second in the standings last season, but has been backed as the favourite for the 2025 drivers’ title.
Racing legend Tom Kristensen has identified Lando Norris as the frontrunner to win his first F1 drivers’ championship this year. Norris, who performed well last season but was surpassed by Max Verstappen, is backed by Kristensen to excel in the upcoming season. The McLaren driver’s victory in the final race of the previous season and his team’s constructors’ title win have fueled expectations for a strong season ahead. The uncertainty lies in Red Bull’s competitiveness after facing challenges in 2024 with the RB20, potentially giving McLaren an advantage in 2025. As the season unfolds, it remains to be seen if Norris can indeed dethrone Verstappen and claim the championship title.
