In the first two races of the Imola-Monaco-Spain triple-header, Lando Norris has managed to cut the deficit to teammate Oscar Piastri in the Championship.<\/p>\n
His victory in Monaco, just his second win of 2025, leaves him just three points behind Piastri.<\/p>\n
Considering his difficulties with the MCL39<\/a>, the British driver will be satisfied with this recovery.<\/p>\n Then again, there is still a long road ahead for Norris. The 25-year-old is still up against a notably improved version of Piastri, who will undoubtedly be in contention for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, there is the ever-present Max Verstappen<\/a> threat to consider.<\/p>\n When asked if the Dutchman is still a danger in this year’s title, Norris wasted no time in his rebuttal.<\/p>\n Since McLaren’s Miami package last year, they have enjoyed the most competitive car in Formula 1.<\/p>\n At various stages, Red Bull, Ferrari<\/a> and Mercedes have been their closest challengers.<\/p>\nNorris expects strong competition<\/h2>\n
