Lando Norris tells Max Verstappen 'I'm ready'

“I learned the hard way,” he said. “Were there missed ꦯop🃏portunities? There were.

“As much as there were good things, there were a🐠lso struggles.

“I came ꦆinto the winter revi꧋ewing these things. As good as a year it was, there were plenty of areas where I wasn’t as strong as I needed to be.

“I w💖ant to make sure that this year I am. And I’m ready to go against Max, or whoever I race agaಞinst.

“I am determined 💃to do🧔 better than I did last year, and to make amends.

“It will be a tou🐎gh year for everyoꩲne because it will be so close. I hope it isn’t! But every year that regulations don’t change, it normally gets closer.

“I expect this year to be even closer.”

Red Buꦚll started 2024 as dominant as they had been in 2023, but they were eventually caught up by McLaren and Ferrari by the midway stage.

Norris knows the key to success in 2025 is ꦦto demonstrate that their car is fastest immedi𒅌ately.

“One of our biggest goals is to start the se🍰ason well because we haven’t since I started,” he said.

“Even last year we started a long way off, clearly as the fourth-fastest team. We became the be🐽st team.

“We know there will be more pressure. We are going in as the ꦉfavourites.

“The guys and girls… it hasn’t changed them which is the correct thing. Yo𒉰u don’t want a bit of success to change them.

“As 💖soon as you get complacent in Formula 1, you slip behind.”

“We are no longer going into a season wondering whﷺen that next win might be.

“The a𒀰im is to back up what we did last year with more races and more championships.

“Last year took some of the pressure off me and Lando, getting our first wins. Also the team🍌, their first wins on pure car performance and team performance in probably a decade.

“We greไw as a team and🎐 got used to being back at the front consistently.
