Deep dives
Lando Norris's Path to Championship Contender
To elevate Lando Norris from race winner to title contender by 2025, developing a more aggressive racing style is essential. While Norris already demonstrates great technical skill and intelligence on track, he often appears reluctant to engage aggressively with Max Verstappen, who currently sets the benchmark for competition. As he gains confidence and adapts his strategic approach to wheel-to-wheel racing, it may necessitate a bit of a risk-taking mindset that he is currently not fully adopting. The discussion also highlighted that factory support and car performance will play a vital role in Norris's success, alongside improving his competitive edge in the early races of the season.
