Norris: McLaren’s Dominance Almost Makes Title Harder to Win
Lando Norris trails teammate Oscar Piastri by 34 points after a rare car failure, facing a tough challenge to win the 2025 Formula 1 drivers' championship despite McLaren's strong dominance.
- Last week, Lando Norris's McLaren stopped while chasing Oscar Piastri at the Dutch Grand Prix, forcing his retirement and leaving him 34 points behind going into the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
- McLaren's dominance — 12 of 15 race victories — has set this year's tone, but Lando Norris says this superiority ironically makes his title challenge harder.
- Mathematically, Norris faces a steep path: with nine races left, he must win the next five consecutively with Oscar Piastri second each time, while Piastri holds a slight edge over the past four weekends.
- Rejecting ill will, Norris has vowed to maximise results and said he won't wish misfortune on Oscar Piastri, adding he'll try again next year if needed.
- The Monza weekend marks the final European chapter of the season, with the Italian Grand Prix at Monza potentially shaping the remainder of 2025 and deciding a first title for Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri.
