168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris feels he now has the “confidence” to win the F1 drivers’ c🐻hampionship this year after struggling with se꧃lf-belief in the past.

Norris was Max Verstappen’s closest rival i𝓡n 2024 but could not take the title down🌌 to the wire in Abu Dhabi.

Despite McLaren overtaking Red Bull in the pecking ordꦍer, Norris failed to capitalise on having superior machinery.

Speaking on a , Norris was open about how he struggled with confidence in the past - something h༒e's overcome 𒈔recently.

“Confidence is something I’ve strဣuggled with🐲 in the past,” he said.

“And probably I’ve only built enough up throughout this season to go ‘I’m confident that I’m a good enough driver to win a championship next year’ and I can bring a fight to whoever wants to fight me for i🐟t.”

Norris has learned from his mistakes

Norris’ fai♈led title bid wasn’t e🧸ntirely his fault, though.

Poor strategy decisions fr✃om McLaren in Canada and Britain costও him likely victories.

In Canada, McLaren didn't😼 pre-empt the Safety Car when he was leading 🍬the race.

At Silverstone, McLaren followed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton and put him on the softs, when t🦂he more durable rubber was the way tꦫo go.

However, his race craft against Ver𒆙stappen in Austria, then 🤪poor starts in Hungary and Italy, meant he couldn’t further reduce the Dutchman’s lead.

Reflecting on losing any hope of the title last year, Norris said: “When th🌃at realisation kind of sets in of ‘it’s gone’, it’s a tough one. This is what I’ve done since I was a kid, this is all I want to do. So, as soon as that kind of candle is gone and it’s over, it hurts.”

“Howev🧜er, Norris remains proud of how he performed during the 2024 season and is looking forward to taking the lessons learned into 2025. It’s been a year where, actually, I’ve been pretty proud of my performance. Proud of performing under the pressure that we’ve been under, delivering🎀 when I have.

“I’ve made ꧋my mistakes and, at the same time, I’ve learned a lot from those mistakes. So for us to go into next year, going ‘we have what it takes, we have a🐽 car’... I believe I’m a good enough driver and I’ve got everything it takes.

“I’m excited to go into 2025 knowing I’ve learned a lot, I’ve impꦫroved a lot and I’m ready☂ to bring the fight to everyone.”
