Lando Norris plays it very cool when asked on F1 title battle: ‘Won’t matter once we’re all dead’
F1 title challenger says none of it will matter ‘once we’re dead’
- Lando Norris adopted a philosophical stance on his Formula One championship battle with McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri, stating the outcome ultimately matters little in the grand scheme.
- Piastri currently holds a 16-point lead over Norris, with six wins to Norris's four, establishing him as Norris's main competitor for the season's title.
- Norris emphasised his refusal to engage in mind games with Piastri, preferring to focus on his own performance: “I don’t enjoy that. In 200 years no one is going to care. We’ll all be dead.”
- At the Hungaroring, Norris demonstrated strong form by securing an impressive practice double, outperforming Piastri in both sessions.
- Elsewhere, Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari and Max Verstappen of Red Bull experienced challenging practice sessions, with both drivers reporting issues with their cars and finishing well down the order.
