The clock is counting down on Lando Norris being able to change the perception that he lacks the robustness and consistency needed to win an F1 title against the best
Competing for a world championship in Formula 1 is the most challenging test for a driver, pushing their skillset to the limits like nothing else. The pressure in a tight title battle exposes weaknesses and magnifies mistakes that might have gone unnoticed before. McLaren drivers, especially Lando Norris, have experienced this intense scrutiny over the past six months. While Oscar Piastri has shown resilience, there are doubts about his ability to match the peak speed of his teammate.
Norris, on the other hand, faces questions about seizing opportunities and turning speed into results. Despite his exceptional pace, he has struggled to consistently translate it into wins, even when the car has been competitive. Looking back at his missed chances in previous seasons, the question remains whether Norris can elevate his performance to a championship-winning level in 2025.
Although he has shown improvements, winning six races this year, including a sprint, it may not be enough for Norris to secure the championship. The upcoming races will reveal whether he can overcome his weaknesses and maximize his potential on the track.
