Lando Norris exhibited an impressive performance as the British driver emerged victorious over Max Verstappen in Miami. Norris, who had been going through a dry spell in Formula 1, finally secured a win in the race. Taking advantage of a Safety Car period, he managed to take the lead and successfully defend it against Verstappen throughout the race, crossing the finish line in first place. This achievement led former F1 driver Anthony Davidson to believe that Norris has the potential to challenge Verstappen in future races.
Davidson, an F1 commentator, questioned whether Norris could compete with Verstappen on equal terms. In response, the former Honda driver quickly acknowledged Norris’ incredible racing ability. He also highlighted Norris’ proficiency in wet track conditions and his ability to analyze the course of a race. According to Davidson, Norris remained calm when he inherited the lead under the Safety Car, thanks to McLaren’s smart strategy. By pitting one lap after most drivers, Norris was able to maintain a comfortable advantage over Verstappen.
Red Bull is about to introduce an upgrade package for the next race in Imola. In Miami, the Austrian team faced strong competition from McLaren and Mercedes, who also brought updates to their cars. However, it is expected that Red Bull will regain its pace advantage in the next race. Davidson predicts that the current world champions will come back stronger in Imola, drawing a parallel with Verstappen’s dominant performance in the previous race in Australia after retiring from the race before.
Malgré Red Bull conserve probablement un avantage sur McLaren, Lando Norris cherchera certainement à défier Max Verstappen dans plus de courses cette saison. Si McLaren continue de progresser, les fans peuvent s’attendre à une bataille passionnante entre Verstappen et Norris tout au long de l’année.
