Finish third. Easier said than done. But nothing Lando Norris can't do.
Max Verstappen is charging forward like an express train, and having him as a title challenger is scary enough. It seems as if he lives rent-free not only in the heads of the McLaren drivers, but in the minds of everyone wearing papaya colours.
