Lando Norris tells Max Verstappen 'I'm ready'

“I learned the harꦺd way,” he said. “Were there missed o🧔pportunities? There were.

“As much as there were goo𒊎d things, there wer🌠e also struggles.

“I came into the winter reviewing these things. As good as a year it was, there were plenty of areas where I wasn’t as strong as I need🥂ed to be.

“I want to make sure tha📖t this year I am❀. And I’m ready to go against Max, or whoever I race against.

“I am determined to do better than I d🗹id last year, and to make amends.

“It will be a tough year for e♕veryone because it wil꧃l 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 Bull started𝕴 2024 as dominant as they had been in 2023, but they were eventually caught up by McLaren and Ferrari by t💛he midway stage.

Norris knows the key to success in 2025 is to demon🥀strate that their car is fastest immediately.

“One o🔯f our biggest goals is to start the season 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 th🌃e best team.

“We ꧋know th🥃ere will be more pressure. We are going in as the favourites.

“The guys and girls… it hasn’t changed them whiꦚch is the correct thing. You don’t want a bit of su🅺ccess to change them.

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

Oscar Piastri explains 'the aim' for McLaren

Teammate Oscar Piastri ended the season fourth.

McLaren’s team orders were 💛scrutinised as Piastri’s impressive form challenged even Norris.

Piastri said about the upcoming season: “The racing itch came back quickly - then it 🥀was focusing on how to improve, to be better this year, looking at the things that well and the things that did not.

“We are 𝓡no longer going into a season wondering when that next win might be.

“The aim is to back up what we did last year with more races aܫ꧂nd 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 a🐻nd team performance in probably a decade.

“We grew as a team and got used to bei🥀ng back at the ♑front consistently.

“The things to adapt to is: applying th🧸e lessons of last year, starting this year as we ended last year.”
