Lando Norris has made a bold statement in the fight for the 2024 Drivers’ Championship, declaring that McLaren’s engine has no rivals as he aims to dethrone reigning champion Max Verstappen. With six races remaining in the season, Norris is trailing by 52 points but remains confident in his team’s potential.
The McLaren star has been in exceptional form since the summer break, securing two victories and a podium in his last four races. His recent performances have fueled his belief that McLaren’s engine superiority could give him the edge needed to overcome Verstappen, who has struggled in recent weeks without a win in his last eight races.
Speaking to the press ahead of the upcoming United States Grand Prix, Norris expressed his confidence, stating, “Our engine is unmatched. With the performance we’ve shown recently, there’s no doubt we can continue to close the gap and put real pressure on Verstappen.”
Despite his optimism, Norris acknowledges the challenges ahead. He must maintain consistent performances and avoid any costly mistakes as he continues his pursuit of his first World Championship title.
As the season nears its conclusion, all eyes will be on Norris to see if his bold claims hold true and if McLaren’s impressive machinery can carry him to victory.
