McLaren sees Norris as 'mature' enough to fight for title

In the image of McLaren, Lando Norris has also reached a new level this season. With competitive equipment over the long term, the Englishman has changed dimension during the year. His victory in Miami last May freed him from a weight and the very good development of his team has allowed him to attack practically every Grand Prix with the ambition of playing the leading roles since then.
Dolphin of Max Verstappen, the kid from Bristol should - barring a huge turnaround - miss out on the championship title. However, at McLaren, satisfaction with him as the end of the year approaches is total.
« Without a doubt, reply: Andrea Stella when asked if Lando Norris has grown as a driver in 2024. Lando handles this situation (to fight for the title) in a way that we appreciate. He is now a very mature driver. [He is] fast and his technique continues to improve.
The attitude, what he learns from each situation… we see it race after race. Lando now has the maturity to impose himself in this kind of fight, facing one of the best drivers in the history of the Formula 1. » If it seems difficult for 2024, Lando Norris should probably arrive better prepared for 2025.

It's true now but it's recent! The forces present must still be the same as this year and, in this case, he risks more fighting with a Ferrari driver!

2024 is over for the Drivers' title and 2025 seems more open than ever. But I'd put a ticket on Piastri rather than Norris at McLaren!
