Lando Norris has conceded the F1 2024 championship was “lost in the first six races” of the season but says he is “proud” to have challenged Max Verstappen .

Lando Norris insists Max Verstappen would not have won this year’s Formula 1 world championship if he was driving a McLaren. Norris saw his title hopes disintegrate at the last race in Brazil when Verstappen produced one of his best-ever drives to claim victory from 17th on the grid in wet conditions.
