Lando Norris won a landslide victory in F1 Dutch GPa victory with many meanings not only for taking away victory from Max Verstappen before his fans, rather, for the insulting superiority shown by his car, the McLarenwith its new evolutions presented in Zandvoort.
Lando Norris took the victory and allowed himself the luxury of earning an extra point for the fastest lap on the last lap of the race, with worn tires, something that makes it clear that he has a car that is a rocket at the moment .
Therefore, after scoring 8 points in the World Cup with a car that is considered a great favorite for victories until the end of this World Cup, with races that may be exceptions due to their specific characteristics, such as Monza or SingaporelEveryone’s question is whether Lando Norris will be able to push and fight for the title against Max Verstappen.
70 points away and 9 races to go
The Dutchman has a 70 point lead over Lando with 9 races remaining. If Norris wins them all and achieves all the fastest laps, he will win the crown, although there are many more possible variables if Max fails in one of the remaining races with a car that gives him a lot of problem
Lando Norris’ response to the title
However, when asked about the possibility of winning the title, Lando Norris was blunt in his response at the press conference after the 2024 F1 Dutch GP.
“I’ve been fighting for the championship since the first race of the year. It’s not like there’s a sudden change of decisions. I need to do better. I’ve been working hard all year and I’m still 70 points behind Max . So it’s kind of stupid to think about nothing (on the title) at this time”he commented.
“I take it race by race and keep doing the same thing because there’s no point in thinking about the future and thinking about everything else. I don’t care about anything right now. i just… yes, focused on the next race. So it’s not a question they have to ask me every weekend.”said Lando, making it clear that he did not want to be asked about the World Cup and perhaps taking the pressure off by indicating that he still does not fully see himself in that match.
