The McLaren F1 racing team driver has been in exceptional form throughout this season. Lando Norris and Max Verstappen (Via: Imago) The driver from the McLaren F1 racing team has called for an increase in performance to challenge the reigning three-time world champion. The Dutch driver has been dominating the sport, securing three world championships since 2021. Max Verstappen achieved victory in 19 races during the 2023 season and has already won five out of seven races this year. The 26-year-old has displayed complete dominance and aims to maintain the same level of performance in the current season.
However, Lando Norris has encouraged his fellow drivers to embrace the idea of putting Verstappen in a difficult position by performing to the best of their abilities. Norris himself has been in excellent form this season, with the MCL38 car proving to be a strong contender against Red Bull’s RB20.
Both McLaren and Ferrari have shown an improvement in their pace this season and have developed cars that can compete with Red Bull. As the season progresses, fans can expect an intense battle between Ferrari, McLaren, and Red Bull for both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships.
Max Verstappen has openly acknowledged the challenges Red Bull will face in maintaining their lead against McLaren and Ferrari at the Monaco Grand Prix. The team based in Milton Keynes and Verstappen have had a strong start to the 2024 season with five wins out of seven races. However, they now face tough competition from McLaren, as seen in the Miami GP and last week’s race in Imola.
Verstappen explains the difficulties Red Bull will encounter at Monaco, particularly due to the RB20 struggling with bumps and kerbs. The Monaco track is a tight 3.3 km circuit with very little room for error. The 26-year-old hopes that Red Bull can improve their performance for the upcoming race, as they faced challenges during practice sessions and qualifying for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
With the Monaco Grand Prix just around the corner, fans can anticipate an exciting weekend featuring a three-way battle. It will be intriguing to see who will emerge victorious on a track that demands precision and tests the courage of the drivers.
