Landau Norris needs to achieve a great result in Brazil to prevent Max Verstappena rival whom he described as dangerous in Mexico last weekend, is getting closer and closer to a fourth consecutive Formula 1 championship.
The pilot of McLaren arrives at the circuit Interlagos of Sao Paulo 47 points behind the Red Bull triple world champion with four races remaining and with a maximum of 120 points at stake.
Verstappen is the clear favorite for the title, as Norris still needs to outperform his rival by 12 points on average each round, but there is plenty of room for events to conspire against him.
Ferrari is on the rise, on the verge of achieving three consecutive victories in the American tour as it chases its first constructors’ title since 2008. That could help Norris, provided the Englishman wins and Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc They will finish ahead of Verstappen.
However, the drivers of the Italian team, only 29 points behind McLaren in the team classification, will not be easy to overcome. Neither for the World Cup leader nor for Norris.
Verstappen’s two 10-second penalties in Mexico seem to indicate that the stewards will not allow foul play on the track, something that could have a significant effect on the title fight.
Brazil is the fifth of the six sprint mode weekends on the 2024 calendar, which puts eight extra points at stake. As a significant fact, so far Verstappen has won all the mini races of the year.
He also won the sprint and Sunday’s main grand prix in Brazil last year, when Red Bull dominated. Norris finished second in both.
For its part, Fernando Alonso faces the weekend with double concern. On the one hand, the usual doubt about the performance of the Aston Martin; on the other, the stomach problems he has suffered since the Mexican GP.
