On media day in Barcelona, Lando Norris opted to shoot straight from the shoulder. The McLaren driver, back to his former effervescent self after a majestic pole position and victory on his home streets of Monte-Carlo, was directly asked whether the 2025 F1 title race was just between himself and serene Australian teammate Oscar Piastri.
“If you think it is just out of me and Oscar… then you are a bit silly,” Norris said. His deficit to leader Piastri is three points with a third of the season raced. Defending champion Max Verstappen is 25 points off the pace in third.
