Lando Norris dismisses Max Verstappen's F1 title claim about McLaren.
After clinching his fourth consecutive world championship in Las Vegas last weekend, Verstappen asserted he would have also taken the title had he been driving Norris’s McLaren - and much sooner. Get the latest F1 news, exclusives, interviews and promotions from the paddock direct to your inboxRed Bull started the season in dominant fashion but McLaren have been the team to beat for much of the year. Despite that, Verstappen’s eight wins are five more than what Norris has racked up for McLaren.
After being pushed hard by Oscar Piastri, Norris said there are “pros and cons” to having a teammate who provides competition.“He doesn’t have someone who’s pushing him, he doesn’t have someone who’s trying other things with the car and you can’t do A to B tests and things like that, because the data’s not as valuable when you don’t have someone performing at the same level.
“But at the same time there is no pressure, he doesn’t have to deal with trying to beat someone in his own team and that comes with some comfort. But they go together and in some ways I like having a bit of pressure because it makes me do a better job.
