Lando Norris believes he can "upset" newly-crowned F1 world champion Max Verstappen next season.
The McLaren driver saw his slim hopes of winning a maiden world title end in Las Vegas after finishing sixth and one place behind Red Bull’s Verstappen, who was crowned world champion for the fourth successive time.Get the latest F1 news, exclusives, interviews and promotions from the paddock direct to your inboxNorris said Verstappen drove “perfectly” throughout 2024 and was fully deserving of winning the world championship with two races remaining.
"When he's had the quickest car, he dominated races. When he's not in the quickest car, he's still been just behind us and almost winning the races anyway. But the 25-year-old Briton is convinced he and his team will be better placed to put in sterner challenge next year after taking the title race down to the final few rounds of the season.
“I have some things to work on still, for sure, but I can fight against Max, and I'll be happy to say that, because I think Max is the best driver in the world, and probably one of the best drivers that's ever been in Formula 1.
