“It will make our life difficult”

McLaren is the strongest team this season, with 12 victories in 17 races. After a weaker start, Red Bull and Max succeeded in Monza and Baku.

Lando Norris: “Red Bull will make our lives more difficult until the end of the season”

In Azerbaijan, the leader of the ranking, Oscar Piastri, abandoned due to an accident in the first round, and Norris obtained only 6 points, managing to reduce the difference from his teammate at 25 points.

Verstappen dominated from the beginning to the end in Baku and registered his fourth victory of the year, and Norris acknowledged that he was not surprised by this performance, according to Sportal.bg.

It does not happen often that Red Bull will be slow, so people should not be surprised that they are fast again. Max wins races since the beginning of the year, he could have won the first stage. Max was about to win the second stage, throughout the Red Bull season was fast.

For Monza, they used new elements in the car, which improved their performance even more is not a surprise. We are all aware that it is an incredibly powerful team and Max is one of the best pilots in the history of Formula 1. So we expect a serious fight, Red Bull will make our lives more difficult until the end of the season.
