Lando Norris is refusing to have "pretty stupid" thoughts he could challenge Max Verstappen for the F1 title.
The McLaren driver fought back from losing the lead due to a poor start to overtake Red Bull ’son Lap 18. Norris eased clear of Verstappen and sealed a statement win at Zandvoort by 22.9 seconds.
"I've been fighting for the championship since the first race of the year. There's no sudden decision now,” Norris. "I don't care about it at the minute. I'm just... yeah, focused on one race at a time, so it's not a question that I need to get asked every single weekend.”McLaren’s formidable performance followed the introduction of the team’s first proper upgrade since the Miami Grand Prix in May.
“The upgrades we’ve been putting on the car, they helped us every time. It’s not like we put it on and questioned it. We put it on and it just did everything we wanted it to do and needed it to do, and what it was meant to do.
