Lando Norris News, Rumors, & NASCAR Updates

Battles to P2 in Miami Norris finished second in the Miami Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Miami International Autodrome on Sunday afternoon.

Impact Fresh off the Sprint victory on Saturday, Norris was looking to sweep the weekend in Miami. He would start fourth on the grid and jump into a battle for the lead immediately from the lights out. The chaos of the opening turns would see Max Verstappen spin out of control and down the order and Norris would shore up P2. Norris would duel the entire race with Kimi Antonelli for control but it would come down to pit strategy and a Mercedes undercut that would put Norris on the backfoot. He would pursue the young driver to the checkered flag but come up 3.2-seconds short in P2.

Impact Norris started from the pole and got a great launch at the lights out. He'd carry his advantage thru turn 1 and never look back. The McLaren star would run out to a controlled advantage over PIastri and eventually cross the finish line 3.7-seconds ahead of his teammate for the victory in the Sprint. Norris has to be feeling very optimistic about his chances in Sunday's Miami Grand Prix.

Impact It's clear that the upgrades McLaren brought to Miami this week have been impactful. Norris advanced to SQ3 and was the class of the field in posting a lap of 1:27.869. He would be two-tenths clear of Antonelli and for now it looks like McLaren has caught up to Mercedes in terms of pace. Saturday's sprint will be Norris' to lose and we should learn a lot more about the various upgrades that teams have made over the past month.

Fast Start in Japan Norris finished fifth in the Japanese Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Suzuka Circuit on Sunday.

Impact Norris would get a great launch at the lights out and get around both Mercedes drivers before the opening corner. He would hold down P3 until George Russell would overtake him on lap 3 and push him back down the order. The McLaren star would be the first to pit for fresh rubber on lap 16 but that would be a critical mistake as the safety car would come out a few laps later. That would relegate Norris to P8 and he would spend the remainder of the day clawing his way back up into P5 by the checkered flag.

Two-Stop Strategy Norris finished fifth in the Australian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Albert Park Circuit on Sunday.

Impact Norris would start P6 on the grid and get jumped on the opening lap, falling back to P9 by his lap 11 pit exit. He would then set about making his drive back forward. The McLaren star would fall under extreme pressure from Max Verstappen during his second stint, however, Norris would hold him off. A second pit stop during the lap 34 VSC would set up Norris with medium tyres for the remaining 24 laps. He was too far behind the Ferrari's to run them down, but he would once again hold off Verstappen to secure a strong P5 in Australia.

Impact Norris posted a lap of 1:33.453 in the morning session on Thursday at the Bahrain International Circuit. Compared to other days of testing this seems pretty well the ceiling right now for lap times without further upgrades by the teams. Norris edged Verstappen by one-tenth to lead the way. The McLaren star logged an incredible 72 laps in the morning session which was second-most in the group as the team continues to test reliability.

Impact Max Verstappen would lead the morning session of the day 1 test in Bahrain. But it would be Norris who would climb into the McLaren to relieve Oscar Piastri and work down to the fastest lap of the day in this test. His lap of 1:34.669 would end up edging Verstappen by just one-tenth. Norris' 58 laps run were on the light side compared to most drivers this day, but he had the definitive pace in this opening day of testing at the Bahrain circuit.

Impact Norris would roll off P2 on the grid and would soon fall into the clutches of his teammate, Oscar Piastri, on the opening lap. Norris would slip to P3 but would run a managed and smart race from there. The McLaren star would repel multiple attacks from Charles Leclerc during the evening on the Yas Marina Circuit and would hold strong until the end. Norris would cross the finish line in third-place at nearly 4-seconds behind Piastri. The finish was good enough to clinch the 2025 World Championship for Norris.

Impact This is second session was run under the lights and in the cooler evening air at the Yas Marina Circuit. The conditions were much closer to what we will see in both qualifying and the grand prix. Norris would go to work on soft tyres late in the session and post a day's best lap of 1:23.083 to separate himself from Verstappen by more than three-tenths. The strong lap made a big statement for Norris and implies that he will be the driver to beat in pole qualifying on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.

Impact This FP1 was a rookie-filled practice on the Yas Marina Circuit. As many as nine development drivers participated in this session so youth and inexperience would mark the practice. Norris would have no trouble elevating to the top of the timing sheets with a lap of 1:24.485. He would best Verstappen by a mere 0.008-seconds to lead the way. The McLaren star will be locked in duel this Sunday at Abu Dhabi to decide this season's drivers championship.

F1 title comes down to a three-way showdown in Abu Dhabi

Max Verstappen stayed in the title hunt with a Qatar win aided by a lap-7 safety car and timely pit stop

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • Associated Press

Strategy Blunder in Qatar Norris finished fourth the Qatar Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Lusail International Circuit on Sunday.

Impact Norris started on the outside pole but would quickly fall into the clutches of a fast-starting Max Verstappen after the lights out. He would ride P3 until a lap 7 safety car for Nico Hulkenberg's accident. McLaren would decide to keep both their drivers out while most of the field pitted for fresh rubber. It would only be a short term gain for Norris as it would put him on much older tyres to end the opening stint and drop to P5 after his first stop. Norris would attempt to battle back and fortunately overtake Kimi Antonelli on the last lap to secure a somewhat disappointing P4 in Qatar.
