Lando Norris endured a difficult round in Brazil last time out as he lost significant ground to Max Verstappen in the title fight.
Former F1 driver Martin Donnelly believes Lando Norris will not become “a great champion” in Formula 1 despite his talent and potential. Max Verstappen’s dominant victory in the recent Brazilian Grand Prix showcased his exceptional driving skills and set him on course for his fourth F1 title. Donnelly emphasizes the importance for Norris to improve and elevate his performance to match that of drivers like Verstappen, Senna, Schumacher, and Alonso. He points out the distinction between good drivers like Coulthard and Webber and great drivers who possess innate skills for success. Verstappen’s remarkable win in challenging conditions underscores his superiority and talent behind the wheel, leaving Donnelly doubtful if any driver can outperform him consistently. The skills displayed by drivers like Verstappen, Ocon, and Gasly in adverse conditions are traced back to their early years in karting, highlighting the foundation of talent and expertise necessary for success in Formula 1.
