Lando Norris confidently shared his thoughts with a reporter, asserting his right to express his opinions freely. He downplayed McLaren’s chances of being the favorites at the upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix despite his recent dual triumphs in Brazil.

Heading into the final triple header of the season, Norris holds a comfortable 24-point lead over his teammate Oscar Piastri in the World Championship standings. The racer from Bristol dominated the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace races over the weekend, clinching pole positions and race victories.

Despite his recent success, Norris approaches the Las Vegas event with caution due to past experiences. He endured an early exit at the 2023 inaugural street circuit race and witnessed Max Verstappen claim the title with a sixth-place finish last year.

During a post-race press conference in Sao Paulo, Norris dismissed McLaren’s favored status for the upcoming race, standing by his opinion despite challenges from reporters. He highlighted the team’s historical struggles at the circuit and his commitment to honesty in his assessments.

In a separate development, Sky has enriched its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle by adding HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+, discovery+, and Hayu, along with 135 channels and comprehensive Formula 1 coverage. The package includes live broadcasts of all F1 sessions throughout the season, as well as exclusive coverage of other sports like the Premier League, EFL, darts, and golf.

Norris reaffirmed his candid approach, emphasizing his reservations about McLaren’s performance at the upcoming race. He acknowledged the team’s previous struggles at the circuit and remained realistic about their chances, despite recent victories. Norris expressed his commitment to honesty and personal opinion, even if it differs from others’ expectations.
