Said Max Verstappenquadruple Formula 1 champion, who He would also have been proclaimed champion with this year’s McLaren or with the 2021 Mercedes. But Lando Norris He made it clear that his rival would not have won the title with the car he was driving.
“If I had won with the McLaren? Certainly not”said the Dutchman from Red Bull.
“I mean that “No one in the history of F1 has been able to recover from a difference as big as the one I had.”Lando told the ‘Telegraph’.
“The advantage they had at the start of the season over everyone was much greater than the one we had,” continued the British driver.
Max’s literal words were: “Would I have been champion with the McLaren?” Yes, even before, and in 2021, I would have won with the other car too. 2022 could have been complicated and in 2023 I don’t think so.”. A clear “collage” with Lando himself and also with Lewis Hamilton.
And it seems that Norris These words don’t suit him at all. He maintains that even if he was the best driver on the grid, he could not have reached the top with this McLaren.
It is a reality that at the start of the season, Red Bull was the most dominant car on the entire grid. With difference. But as the races progressed, the pawpaws stood up and left their rivals behind. But it was not enough for a Lando who He made too many mistakes in key moments.
