Lando Norris is peaking at just the right time in the F1 title race – having learnt tough lessons.
Lando Norris has experienced a significant shift in his mindset and mental approach that has propelled him to the brink of F1 title success. Following a mechanical issue at the Dutch GP, Norris fell behind team-mate Oscar Piastri by 34 points, but the tables turned dramatically as Piastri struggled while Norris excelled, winning the last two races in Mexico and Brazil to take a 24-point lead.
