Lando Norris needs a miracle to win the F1 drivers’ title this season.
Martin Brundle has raised doubts about Lando Norris’ killer instinct in battling Max Verstappen, following Norris’ setback at the São Paulo F1 race where multiple errors cost him a significant lead position. Verstappen, on the other hand, displayed a flawless performance, starting from 17th place and clinching a remarkable victory, widening his lead in the championship by 62 points. Brundle emphasized that Norris needs to enhance his skills in order to close the gap on Verstappen, especially in the context of challenging for a world championship. Despite Norris’ impressive victories, such as in Zandvoort and Singapore, his lack of experience in championship battles may hinder his progress. The former F1 driver highlighted the substantial points difference between Norris and Verstappen, making it nearly impossible for Norris to snatch the championship title this season without a series of exceptional results. Brundle concluded that Norris would need a consistent run of outstanding performances and numerous fortunate circumstances to overturn the current championship situation.
