Red Bull’s Max Verstappen is 81 points behind Piastri – more than three clear wins. And Norris said that while it was “never impossible”, the Dutchman was “quite a long way back”.<\/p>\n
He added: Max is still quite easily one of the best drivers ever in Formula 1. So as a driver, I wouldn’t rule him out.<\/p>\n
“But we have a better car, we have a better team. So I have my confidence in them that we can stay ahead.”<\/p>\n
Mercedes driver George Russell said: “Oscar’s been very solid. I think he gets the most out of himself every single weekend, is my takeaway, he’s very consistent, doesn’t get flustered, and just delivers reliably.<\/p>\n
“Whereas I feel Lando’s got huge raw speed, but probably the hit rate isn’t as high as Oscar’s.<\/p>\n
“But they’re two incredible drivers, and I think they’ll continue fighting for quite a while. But Oscar doesn’t seem very phased.”<\/p>\n
Russell also pointed to a penalty Piastri received for braking behind the safety car at the British Grand Prix, which cost him the win to Norris.<\/p>\n
“It swings so quickly, doesn’t it? The momentum shifts so quickly,” Russell said. “But I think Oscar was a bit unfortunate in Silverstone. He could have also won the race in Austria, it could have gone very differently.<\/p>\n
“Lando, over the last three years, has beaten Oscar over that period, so you can’t count out either of them, but I think it’s definitely fair to say Oscar’s sort of stepped up this year.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
