Lando Norris, buoyed by his recent victory at the Dutch GP, aims to challenge Max Verstappen for the F1 World Championship, although he faces a daunting 70-point deficit. While Norris expresses a desire to race freely alongside his teammate Oscar Piastri, McLaren's racing director Randeep Singh cautions that overcoming such a gap has never been done in F1 history. Lewis Hamilton acknowledges Norris's potential but emphasizes that luck will be necessary for him to secure the title, given Verstappen's consistent performance. Norris admits he struggles with nerves on race days, often refraining from eating or drinking due to pressure. Despite the mounting expectations, he intends to focus on his driving and not let the championship chase distract him. McLaren's recent pace improvements have rekindled hope for both Norris and the team as they continue to optimize their performance.
