McLaren driver and last year's runner-up Lando Norris is eyeing his first Formula 1 world title in the 2025 season. The British driver is very confident of winning his first championship this year. In 2024, he started his victory run very late but after the Miami Grand Prix, McLaren and Lando became the new leaders. They battled for the drivers and constructors championship against Red Bull and Ferrari. Max Verstappen was too good for Lando Norris but they beat Red Bull in a clear straight contest at the constructors and won the title after 26 years.

Lando Norris in a recent podcast said he wants to win the championship this year and reflected on his 2024 performance. He said “When that realisation kind of sets in of ‘it's gone’, ‘it's tough one’. That is what I’ve done since I was a kid, this is all I want to do, So, as soon as that kind of candle is gone and it’s over, it hurts.” Norris also reflected on his 2024 performance by saying “It's been a year where I’ve been pretty of my performance. Proud of performing under the pressure that we’ve been under, delivering when I have.”
The Brit driver added “I’ve made my mistakes and, at the same time, I’ve learned a lot from those mistakes, So for us to go into next year, going ‘We have what it takes, we have a car’. I believe I’m a good enough driver and I’ve got everything it takes. I’m excited to go into 2025 knowing I’ve learned a lot, I’ve improved a lot and I’m ready to bring the fight to everyone.” Lando Norris is very confident of winning a world title this 2025 season. This year will also be the final season of the hybrid era, and many predict this season will be a four-way fight between McLaren, Red Bull, Mercedes, and Ferrari.
