The Formula 1 paddock reconvenes this weekend for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, with plenty of topics up for discussion during Thursday’s media day.
Having taken a dominant victory last time out in Mexico City, Lando Norris reclaimed the lead of the Drivers’ Championship for the first time since April and with just four Grands Prix remaining.
The McLaren driver, though, suggested nothing would change over the remaining races, despite now leading McLaren team mate Oscar Piastri.
Piastri, meanwhile, believes he has “still got what it takes” to claim his maiden F1 title despite a difficult run of form which has meant the Australian hasn’t reached the podium in the last four Grands Prix.
Max Verstappen remains a threat, just 36 points behind Norris, and outlined the “big challenge” of closing the gap if he hopes to seal a fifth title.
Elsewhere down the grid, Charles Leclerc admitted that P2 was “not good enough” for Ferrari after a podium in Mexico, while Mercedes team mates Kimi Antonelli and George Russell reflected on a heated intra-team battle last time out.
Join James Hinchcliffe, Alice Powell, Alex Jacques and Jolyon Palmer on Weekend Warm-Up for all of the above and much more.
