McLaren F1 star Lando Norris is the bookies' favourite for the drivers' title heading into the 2025 season and the Brit admits there is more pressure than ever on him this year

Speaking with Sky Sports as McLaren put their 2025 challenger, the MCL39, through a filming session at historic Silverstone Circuit Norris shared what he needs to do in 2025 as he eyes his first Drivers’ Championship. It starts with a better start to the season.

Lando Norris says he and McLaren “have nothing to hide behind” in 2025 as both are expected to be Formula 1 title contenders from the off this season.

As Lando Norris spoke about the need to “get his elbows out” against Max Verstappen this year, and not allow the Dutch driver to walk all over him, but at the same time to “play the long game” and “not to take any unnecessary risks”,

Then there is the matter of penalty points. Verstappen currently has eight to his name - accumulate four more and he’ll serve a one-race ban. Worse still, the FIA stewards have clamped down on avoidable contact and issued several 10-second time penalties in Abu Dhabi, some harsh and some warranted.

Hopes are high that the 2025 Formula 1 season will deliver a closely contested championship race, with a number of drivers in the mix as the season progresses.

For many, the Briton enters the F1 2025 season as the favourite but standing in his way is the reigning four-time World Champion Max Verstappen. Lando Norris says ‘no excuses’
