Lando Norris Remains Focused Amid Championship Hype

Lando Norris, McLaren's top driver, stays focused on each race rather than the championship, despite being the closest contender to Max Verstappen. Though Verstappen has not won a race in five attempts, Norris aims for incremental successes, emphasizing team efforts towards the constructor's championship.

Lando Norris, the promising McLaren driver, is currently the only one who might challenge Max Verstappen for this year's Formula One title. However, Norris remains focused on each race individually rather than the overall championship.

Despite Verstappen's recent lack of victories, having gone five races without a win, Norris secured his second season victory at the Dutch Grand Prix, narrowing the points gap. As he approaches the Italian Grand Prix, Norris dismisses the hype, concentrating on immediate goals.

The British driver emphasized the importance of performing well in the constructor's championship, where McLaren has a closer point margin with Red Bull. While acknowledging the difficulty in overtaking Verstappen in the driver's standings, Norris remains committed to contributing to McLaren's overall success.
