Lando Norris Believes He CAN FIGHT For 2025 Championship

Lando started off by speaking about their chances this year

“We can win more races this year, I think we can compete against Red Bull”

He then turned his attention to next year and how likely it would be for McLaren to be fighting for the championship

“100 per cent. I’m saying that with my feet on the ground. We’ve got an amazing team behind us. We’re closer than ever”

“As much as I said at the beginning of the year that we can win races, I want to believe and I should have the confidence that next year we can go for more, we can go for the next step”

He signed off by speaking about the prospect of challenging Max Verstappen on a regular basis

“I want to challenge him, I want to race against him. I want to battle because I think he’s one of the best drivers ever in F1”

“If I can prove myself against him, I can prove myself against one of the best”

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur is of the opinion that Red Bull are “not anymore in the comfort zone of last year where it doesn’t matter what happened – after Lap 2 they were in front” [Media Debrief]

“I think this is an opportunity for us, because if we are doing another small step, I think we will be in a really good position to fight with them every single weekend”

“Hopefully those can edge us a little bit ahead again and put us a little bit closer to the RBs”

“It's Carlos Sainz. I think that everybody would like to have Carlos on board”
