McLaren driver Lando Norris mentioned that everyone believes he and Max Verstappen are better friends than they are off the track. The Brit was involved in a championship fight against the Red Bull driver for the majority of the season.
However, with a gap of 62 points between the two with just three races and one sprint remaining in the 2024 season, it looks improbable that the 25-year-old would deny the Dutch driver of the fourth consecutive championship.
Other than their on-track battles, Lando Norris and Max Verstappen's friendly dynamics off the track have also been tested given the latter's approach during their tussle throughout the season. Despite having a faster car for the majority of the year, the British driver was unable to take the fight to the 27-year-old consistently.
