Norris enjoyed the best F1 season of his career in 2024, securing෴ P2 in the dr𓃲ivers’ championship.

However, Nor🍷ris was left to rue a number of missed opportunities in the race for the drivers’ title.

Poor starts and wheಌel-to-wheel combat against 🍸Verstappen cost him crucial points, allowing the Dutchman to ultimately take the title at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Speaking to , Herbert explained what No🎉rris needs to do against Verstappen.

“Norris needs to stand up to Verstappen more often,” He൲rbert said. “He has been very open that maybe he hasn’t brought his A-game this year.

“Hearing from what I am hearing, he has🉐 accepted that this is what he now has to do, to change.

“This is a r🍸eally good moment where many drivers are thinking the same as Max has done. It is going to be massively interesting to see who comes out on the top next year.

“It might well be scrappy neꦅxt year but that’s what you want in Formula 1, some sharp elbows, allied to common sense. Max loads pressure on everཧyone.”

Norris accepts he has to improve

Norris himself h🌼as been open about the꧟ fact he needs to “step it up” next season.

At the post-season FIA priz🥂e-giving ceremony, Norris accepted that Verstappen had been the better driꦰver.

The McLaren driver also retracted his “just luck” swipe towards his rival following Verstappen’s win from 17th on the grid at the São ꦐPaulo Grand Prix.

While Norris was incredible in qualifying, beating Piastri 20-4 on a Saturday, he will be disappointed by aꦰ number of his poor starts and subp🥂ar strategy calls by McLaren.
