Lando Norris was the first driver to earn the spotlight of the 2025 season. After Formula 1 resumed racing in 2025, McLaren were the pace setting team. Norris was able to utilise his car’s speed effectively right from the start of the championship. He capitalised on his pole position and won the race at Australia.

Norris led the driver standings for four races until team took the lead. However, there was a key issue in Norris’s performance this season. Unlike 2024, Lando committed way too many mistakes this season. It was highly unlikely for a driver of his caliber.

As a result of his performance lapse, Norris went through severe trolling on social media. The driver recently opened up about his mental health struggles in an exclusive interview with Formula 1. The entire McLaren team is backing Norris with everything they can.

But, things are still difficult for Norris. Ahead of the Miami Grand Prix weekend, Lando Norris is criticising his performance yet again.

Lando Norris is “Not Performing at the Level” He Was in 2024

On Thursday, Lando Norris appeared for an interview during the media session for the Miami Grand Prix. The Papaya driver was asked about his views on his 2025 season.

Norris looked under confident as he talked about his feelings. The Briton thinks that some small things aren’t working out for him. This means he is not able to extract the maximum potential out of his car.

Norris appreciated his teammate for adapting quickly to the car. However, he said that he had no time to waste on comparing himself with Oscar Piastri. Here’s what Lando Norris had to say about his performance-

“I am not being able to perform at the level I was, at the end of the last season. Which I think is the best level that I’ve been.”

Can Norris Return to Winning Ways in Miami?

Lando Norris won his first race in Formula 1 at Miami last year. He won three races throughout the season, briefly competing for the driver’s championship title against Verstappen. The current race can be perfect chance for his comeback.

Norris has already won at this track before. He just needs to set his worries aside and drive like the talent he is. Norris has impressive odds for winning the race in 2025. He may be able to triumph over his teammate. The main issue Lando needs to address is his failure to qualify well. His car is fast during the race but to have the best chances of winning, Lando Norris needs pole position.

Last weekend at Jeddah, Norris made an impressive recovery drive. He raced through the grid to secure fourth position in the race. Although, Norris lost the lead to Piastri. He still has enough margin to compete for the title.
