McLaren CEO Zak Brown has backed168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris to prevail in a straight fight against168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen but reckons “many races would end in tears”.

Norris finally ended his 110-race wait for a maiden F1 victory at the Miami Grand Prix, capitalising on a timely Saf🅷ety Car before pulling clear of Red Bull’s Veꦺrstappen in the final 25 laps.

ওThe McLaren driver appeared to have the pace to challenge Verstappen prior to the Safety Car and Norris’ performance has raised hopes that he can be a regular challenger over the remaiꦐnder of the season.

And McLaren boss Brown fully believes Norris has what it takes to beat Verst♈appen in a straight fight.

"I do think Lando can beat Max in a straight fighꦏt," Brown told at the 2024 Historic Monaco Grand Prix.

"I think ꦰit would b♍e an awesome fight, I think many races would end in tears – for one or the other, or both.

"But I think as far as raw talent c🌠an be, I've not🐬 seen someone faster than Lando.

"I'm sure Maജx is just as fast, I'm sure some people will disagree and ultimately, we'll never know until you see them in the same car.

"But, from ܫeverything ಌI can see of Lando, I don't see a faster racing driver out there.

"What's exciting is Oscar [Piastri] can match him. As he gets more experienc☂e I think he'll match him more often.”

"For sure," said Brown. "There's something about w🐎hen drivers get their first win.

"I remember from when I got my first win, now you know you've done it [the first wiꦆn] just relꦑaxes drivers and they don't have to try as hard. In anything, you can try too hard and that kind of works against you."
