2024 was a landmark year for Norris, who finally becameﷺ an F1 race winཧner at the Miami Grand Prix.

Norris led McL🐈aren to their first F1 constructors’ title ꧅in 26 years, beating Ferrari by 14 points.

Despite the various highs, Norris and McLaren were still somewhat disappointed that they weren’t able to push 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen more for the title.

Verstappe🧔n won 7 of൩ the opening 10 races - but McLaren were left to rue a number of missed opportunities, such as poor strategy choices or driver errors.

With F1’s technical regulations remaining stable over the winter, many expe🐼ct McLaren to fight for both titles from the first race in Australia.

Speaking on, Norris explained why he’s quietly confident heading ꦺinto the new season.

“I think I proved to myself last year. I have always been a guy who… I never want to believe in the hype of things. I am always a seeing is believing kind of guy, especially when it comes to things I am doing pꦡersonally.

“Proving tꦰo myself last year that I can go and win races, I can go and dominate a ♍weekend and I can fight against the best in the world. I needed to prove to myself that I was capable of doing that and I did that last year. I am definitely not saying I did it perfectly. I definitely made mistakes.

“I made my fair share of mistakes and errors but I am happier that I did it last year and I can come into this year confident. I would sa🍃y I am confiౠdent which is a rare thing for me to be.

“Definitely not over-confident. I am in the best shape I’ve ever been - ಌboth physically and mentally. I think we are as well aꦰs a team. We have to be. The expectation is there but the determination is also there. I am relaxed. I am excited. Quietly confident too.”

Is Norris the favourite in 2025?

According to a number of bookmarkers, Norris is꧂ the favourite to win this year’s F1 world championship.

Norris ended the year strongly with commanding wins in Singapꦅore and Abu Dhabi.

His raw pace cannot be questioned as he kept 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri at arm’s length throughout the year.

Norris will need🐲 to show more aggression when wheel-to-wheel against the likes of Verstappen, while he needs to be more assured on the opening lap to maintain his strong qualifying positions.
