Norris ‘not worried at all’ about title challenge

Grand Prix of Miami

Miami International Autodrome Location: 2 – 4 May Race start time: 2:00 BST on Sunday

Despite Oscar Piastri outperforming him at the start of the season, Lando Norris claims that there is “no reason to be concerned” about this title campaign.

With his third victory in five races this year, Norris lost the championship to Piastri.

After establishing himself as the most consistent performer at McLaren this year, Piastri now leads the championship by 10 points, while Norris has struggled to get the best out of qualifying.

He continued, “I don’t believe in the momentum stuff as much. I’ve obviously made some mistakes and am not currently at the required level, but I think I can do so soon enough.

No cause for concern, really. Round six of 24 is now underway. That won’t be said for a while. I’m trying to improve, and the speed and race pace are all there; there is just one thing I need to do to make things better. Although it’s challenging, I’m certain I’ll succeed.

According to Norris, the 2025 McLaren’s behavior on corner entry impedes him from reaching his highest level of drivership.

There are just certain things that don’t let me feel what I need to feel, and those things allow me to drive to the level I can drive, to earn pole positions, and to drive at the highest level in racing, according to Norris, who won the season-opening race in Australia.

“We’re talking about little things,” the statement read. I’m complaining about qualifying at the hundredth and thousandth of a second. He might be able to adapt more naturally, and I believe it is also the responsibility of the driver to adapt.

It’s clear there have been some adjustments, but I don’t want to waste my time on whether they have suited Oscar or whether they have done better adaptations.

However, it has caused me pain and prevented me from performing at my best, previous level.

Norris claimed that the McLaren car would receive a number of improvements over the upcoming races that should assist him.

He continued, “There are things I am working on myself, and hopefully that will be a better fix. I don’t just want to rely on that.

Some of these things require time, so I’ll just keep working on them while I’m at it.
