Lando Norris noted

The 2025 season is halfway over, and the driver’s championship battle is far from over between Norris and Oscar Piastri. The Briton is on the path to win his maiden title this year if he can trump Piastri by the end of the season. However, the Aussie isn’t going down without a fight as he will give it his all in the final ten races. If the 25-year-old were to win the title this year, he would definitely purchase yet another exotic car to add to his collection.
