Lando Norris acknowledged Max Verstappen's dominance and congratulated the Dutchman on securing his fourth consecutive Formula 1 drivers' championship. Verstappen's fifth-place finish at the Las Vegas Grand Prix secured the title, ending Norris' slim championship hopes.
Lando Norris insisted he regrets nothing as he paid tribute to Max Verstappen after the Dutchman secured his fourth consecutive Formula 1 drivers' title.
The Brit knew the writing was on the wall after the Brazil race earlier this month when Verstappen drove from 17th on the grid to win, while he dropped from pole position to sixth. That damaging result left the Dutchman with three chances to make sure of the title and he got the job done at the first time of asking.
"You always have a little hope inside but he drove an incredible season. When he had the quickest car he dominate, and when he didn't he was still there and always on my heels. He made my life tough - we made his tough at times I am sure, but he drove a better season so a big congrats to him." "There is definitely more pressure, there are more eyes, more nerves, more demands on me to make sure I go out and don't mess up a qualifying lap or make a mistake in the race, stay in the race, don't get taken out.
