1996 F1 world champion Damon Hill says168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris needs to see 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen as his “worst en✃emy” rather than his friend if he’s to win this year’s world championship.

Verstappen claimed his fourth consecutive drivers’ title in 2024, seeing off Nor𒈔ris’ late-season charge.

The Dutchman m♕anaged to keep Norris at arm’s length, part꧅icularly during the pair’s on-track battles.

Even 𓆉th💯ough Verstappen was penalised twice for incidents with Norris, the wheel-to-wheel fights often benefitted the Dutchman more.

Norris was criticised for being naive against Verstappen on track, as he was unable to take the title ra♏ce down to the wire in Abu Dhabi.

Speaking to the , Hill has war🐽ned Norris from falling into one “trap” again 🍨in 2025.

“I still think he 🍨can beat Oscar. Oscar is brilliant, but Lando has pulled out a bit extra when needed. Oscar is talented but Lando is a force,” Hill said.

“I think he fell into the t🐽rap last year of thinking when going up against Max that he was racing against his mate. Actually, despite their fr🧜iendship, he was taking on his worst enemy. And in Max’s mind when he is driving there is just Max.

“Lando blames himself when he makes mistakes. He is very hard on himself. He is not happy if he doesn’t think he has got 100 per cent out of h🤪is potential. It is a hallmark of a great driver. I also lik𝔉e his personality. It is very appealing.

“Because I live in Guildford, McLaren are my loc🐻al team. I would like to see them do well, but not to be dominant. I would prefer it to be a hard fight, good for the fans. Formula 1 is so much more complex than when I was driving. It was relatively simple then.

“Y🍸ou would get radio messages occasionally. But often nobody had any idea of what to say🃏 to help. Now the information comes quick and fast. Lando is one of those drivers who can take in the information without missing a beat.”

Norris seen as the favourite heading into Australia

It’s widely acce𝓡pted that Norris is the heavy favourite heading into the new F1 season.

McLaren’s pre-season testing pace was impressive, particularly Norris’ long run on the second ℱday in Bahrain.

Norris was approximately six-tenths faster than 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Kimi Antonelli during the race runs.

Similarly, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri was just over 0.3s faster than 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.

However,🥃 with Bahrain being unusually cold, the picture could be entirely different in Australia thi♎s weekend.
