I’m sure Red Bull are pushing hard. So, I mean, it’s obvious. I’m doing my best every weekend. I’m trying to get the most points I can every weekend. That includes fastest lap and things like that. So just focus on myself and focus on us as a team. That’s it.

Norris has been shaky during crucial moments despite delivering thunderous results for the better part of the campaign. He will now seek to mitigate those issues in order to secure his maiden career title.

Lando Norris admits being helpless against Max Verstappen and Red Bull’s consistency

Red Bull driver Max Verstappen has been struggling with his RB20 since the Spanish Grand Prix this season. He has, however, amassed the most wins so far and is currently leading Lando Norris by 52 points in the title race.

But if Max keeps finishing second and Red Bull keep doing like they did this weekend, then nothing more I can do.

Lando Norris told the media including RacingNews365

Max Verstappen can win the title yet again this year if he finishes second in all the remaining races. Norris has thereafter cited his helplessness against the Milton-Keynes-based team if it continues to perform at its high standards.

Verstappen has not won in any of the last eight races, which has allowed Norris to capitalize in the title race. The battle between the two will surely be an exciting sight for Formula 1 fans around the world.
