Lando Norris asserted his freedom to express his opinions during an interview, stating that he does not view McLaren as the favorites for the upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix. Following his consecutive wins over the weekend in Brazil, the British driver heads into the season finale with a strong performance and a 24-point lead over his teammate, Oscar Piastri, who currently holds the second position in the World Championship standings.
Despite his recent success, Norris remains cautious as he approaches the Las Vegas race, citing a past crash at the street circuit in 2023 and acknowledging Max Verstappen’s victory there last year. During a post-race press conference in Sao Paulo, Norris dismissed McLaren’s favoritism for the upcoming race, defending his perspective when challenged by a reporter.
