This is how the 2024 F1 World Championship classification looks after the Italian GP: Norris is closing in on Verstappen, but it could be more

Lando Norris and McLaren missed another golden opportunity again by throwing away some excellent points in the 2024 F1 Italian GP in relation to Max Verstappen for the fight for the 2024 F1 World Championship The World Championship classification is tighter after the Italian GP, ​​but Lando could have left Monza closer to Max.

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, the two McLarens, did not work together and did not work as a team, starting first and second in Monza with the best car on the grid.

However, that was not to be and in the end he only reduced 8, leaving him 82 behind the leader and current champion, who continued to suffer in his car.
