It’s been some time since Lando Norris picked up his maiden win at this year’s Miami Grand Prix and pressure is mounting for Red Bull’s biggest challenger.
, picking up another hard-earned victory—his seventh of the 2024 Formula One season. However, the three-time world champion left the weekend once again feeling the pressure of Lando Norris and McLaren, who seem to have earned their spot as a legitimate threat to Red Bull’s dominance.
