168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris feels well-equipped to win this year’s F1 world championship, decl꧅aring, “I’m in the best shape I’vꦺe ever been”.

2024 was a landmark year for Norris, who finally becam🐈e an F1 race winnerꦜ at the Miami Grand Prix.

Norris led McLaren to their first F1 constructors’ title in 2♎6 years, beating Ferrari by 14 points.

Despite the various highs, Norris and McLaren were still somewhat disappointed that they weren’t able to push 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen more for the title.

Verstapp▨en won 7 of the opening 10 races - but McLaren were left to rue a number of missed opportunities, such as poor strate🐈gy choices or driver errors.

With F1’s technical regulations r🌃emaining stable over the winter, many expect McLaren to fight for both titles from the first race in Australia.

Speaking on🦩, Norris explained why he’s quietly confident headin♐g into the new season.

“I think I proved to myself last year. I have always been a guy who… I neveཧr want to believe in the hype of things. I am always a seeing is believing kind of guy, especially when it comes to th💮ings I am doing personally.

“Proving to myself last year that I can go and win races, I can go and dominate a weekend and I can fight against the best in the world🔯. I needed to prove to myself that I was capable of doing that and I did that last year. I am definitely not saying I did it perfectly. I definitely made mistakes.

“I made my fair share of mistakes aജnd errors but I am happier that I did it last year and I can come into this year confident. I would say I am confident which is a rare thing for me to be.

“Definitely not over-confident. I am in the best shape I’ve ever been - both physically andꦉ mentally. I think we are as well as a team. We have to be. The expectation is there but the determination is also t🥀here. I am relaxed. I am excited. Quietly confident too.”

Is Norris the favourite in 2025?

According to a number of bookm🌳arkers, Norris is the favourite to win this year’s F1 world championship.

Norris ended the year strongl🍌y with commanding wins in Singapore and Abu Dhabi.

His raw pace cannot be questioned as he kept 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri at arm’s length throughout the year.

Norris will need to show more aggression when wheel-to-wheel against th♋e likes of Verstappen, while he needs to be more assured on the opening lap to maintain his strong🅠 qualifying positions.
