News line: ‘Next year will be my year’ – Lando Norris fires bold warning to Max Verstappen
Lando Norris has issued a bold statement, declaring that next year will be “his year” as he aims to challenge Max Verstappen’s dominance in Formula 1. In an interview, Norris expressed confidence in his abilities and the progress of McLaren, which has been steadily improving its performance. While Verstappen has been the standout driver in recent seasons, securing consecutive world championships, Norris believes that the gap is closing.
Norris’ comments suggest he feels the team is on the cusp of significant improvements, and he sees next season as the ideal opportunity to mount a serious title challenge. McLaren’s recent performances, particularly in the latter half of the 2024 season, have shown promise, and Norris is eager to capitalize on that momentum.
