McLaren’s Lando Norris is currently the only driver who can challenge Max Verstappen for the world title, and Lewis Hamilton gives his thoughts on Lando’s chances.
Lando Norris is attempting to challenge Max Verstappen for the world title in 2024, but with eight races to go, he is still 62 points behind the Dutch driver.
While Lewis Hamilton doesn’t think it’ll be easy for Lando to win, he believes McLaren has a big chance to beat Red Bull for the Constructors’ title.
“I mean, there’s a lot of points on the table, so I think it’s not impossible [for Lando to beat Max],” Lewis said.
“I think ultimately Max probably only needs to finish second every race to win at this point, and he [Norris] would have to win every single race and that still wouldn’t be enough.

“So there’ll need to be some fortune in it. I do think, and what’s really exciting, I think there’s a real chance that McLaren could win the Constructors’ title.
“And I think that’s really, really exciting because obviously I was there when we did win the last Constructors’. Obviously it got taken away from us, but we won it in terms of performance that year.
“I don’t think they’ve won since, so I think that could be really exciting, I think, not only for them, but also for the sport.
“And, yeah, I hope that it goes down to the wire, because I think that would be great for the fans.
“But, yeah, with their performance they showed last weekend, maybe they could,” Hamilton concluded.
