“He wasn’t going to be given a lot of space…”
McLaren team boss Zak Brown says Lando Norris raced Max Verstappen “really hard” in the 2024 Formula 1 season but suggests his driver may have to up his aggression levels.
Despite the Red Bull’s obvious weaknesses compared to the McLaren, Verstappen was still crowned the 2024 world champion with two rounds to spare. Asked by Sky Sports F1 on Friday if he felt Norris was perhaps too submissive against Verstappen in 2024, Brown suggested that the former may have to alter his approach in 2025.“Lando’s a different kind of character. I think he’s going to do his talking on the track, versus making a lot of comments off the track.“He raced him pretty hard but also knew he wasn’t going to be given a lot of space.
“We’re trying to ignore that it’s a big race weekend, which I think is going really well for the team - me a little bit less so,” he added.“The minute we try to start doing something differently, I think that would be a mistake.
