"But with the 26-year-old Briton having wrought an extraordinary comeback from 34 points behind Piastri after August's Dutch Grand Prix, he is determined to focus on executing with the clinical calm that has put him into the lead in the standings, not the potential outcome of the race. It can easily just go the opposite way again as much as I don't want it to, he said."
"Norris has found his best form at a crucial juncture having struggled with the car in the opening half of the season at the same time that Piastri has lost the controlled, almost flawless ease that had for so long made him appear to be a champion in waiting. Norris notably kept a remarkable level of equanimity throughout, insisting even in the face of setbacks such as his retirement from the Dutch GP that he would stick to his gameplan."
Lando Norris leads teammate Oscar Piastri by 24 points and Max Verstappen by 49 with a maximum of 83 points available across the final three meetings. Norris recovered from a 34-point deficit after the Dutch Grand Prix and has won the last two races in Mexico and Brazil. He refuses to focus on the possibility of clinching a first drivers' championship and emphasizes executing sessions calmly while acknowledging luck and misfortune. McLaren has attempted to maintain parity between its drivers, including instructing Piastri to cede position at Monza, which provoked fan backlash.
