US EditionLando Norris Wants to Win Formula One Title without Oscar Piastri Misfortune
Lando Norris faces a 34-point deficit to teammate Oscar Piastri after a mechanical failure at the Dutch Grand Prix, with nine races left in the 2025 Formula 1 season.
- Last week, Lando Norris retired at the Dutch Grand Prix after an oil leak forced his McLaren out while chasing Oscar Piastri, leaving him 34 points behind with nine races remaining.
- A technical failure at Zandvoort ended Lando Norris's streak as his McLaren slowed to a halt with eight laps left, snapping over 60 races without a car-related issue and prompting apologies from Andrea Stella, McLaren sporting director, and Zak Brown, McLaren CEO.
- There remain 249 points on offer, and McLaren's strong season includes one-two finishes in seven of 15 races; Norris insisted `I can still win the championship without anything happening and that's the way I wish to do it`.
- Mathematically the margin means Norris faces a run of wins if he is to overhaul Piastri, and he insists he will not rely on luck, pledging to give everything each weekend despite the five consecutive victories scenario.
- The title fight is likely to be settled in Abu Dhabi, where Norris said he would return next year to try again if this year ends without a title for him.
