Former F1 driver Rene Arnoux claimed that Lando Norris can challenge Max Verstappen for the World Championship if he fixes his race starts. He added that McLaren will have to play the team game for Norris to win.

McLaren has managed to develop the fastest car on the grid, competing directly with Red Bull in the World Championship. While the team took the lead in the Constructors' standings after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, it is quite a gap for Lando Norris to cover between himself and Max Verstappen to win his first World Championship. The current gap between the two is 52 points with six races remaining in the season.
