Johnny Herbert has made an admission on Lando Norris following his impressive Formula One 2024 season.

The McLaren star is currently in a title race with Max Verstappen as he is season in the F1 standings with 62 points.

Speaking on Norris, Herbert said: “Lando has had to play catch up and that is very difficult to do.

"He has been chipping away at Max’s lead but the points lead now means the title is out of reach unless Max has a dreadful run of bad luck, which won’t happen.

“Lando has to take the positives of what has happened this year. He has driven so well, got poles and improved massively. He has a great chance of starting next year very strongly and if he can capitalise on that as Max did this year, then who knows what could happen. He will keep on learning. We haven’t seen the best of Lando yet nor for that matter Max.

“McLaren will learn for next year and have a stronger mindset. Lando will go into 2025 knowing he can beat Max. There are others too, such as Oscar [Piastri] and George [Russell] who are only going to get stronger.”

There are three laces left for this season to end and both drivers still have hope to finish the season with a title.
