Lando Norris requires more than a miracle to win the F1 drivers’ title, whilst McLaren is at risk of losing its first constructors’ crown since 1998.
McLaren has the chance to win the F1 constructors’ title for the first time since 1998, but they are at risk of losing it due to their recent setbacks. The team’s transformation began with introducing a B-spec car in Austria last year, propelling them to the top of this season’s championship standings. Despite possessing a strong car, strategic errors, a fear of team orders, and Norris’ mistakes have cost McLaren crucial points. Currently, Max Verstappen is in a favorable position for the F1 drivers’ title. McLaren’s goal has always been the constructors’ title, but recent events have highlighted the need to address their shortcomings. Ferrari’s strong performance in the last few races poses a significant challenge for McLaren in securing their first constructors’ title in over two decades.
