How Lando Norris's F1 title bid collapsed in chaotic Brazilian GP

[@JoeVer-d6v]

Lando Norris downplaying Vettel, Hamilton and now Verstappen while they have more championships than he has wins and yet some think people dislike him to "follow a trend"

[@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1]

He’s very petulant in his comments and needs maturity

[@zordiark9673]

Hasnt he said that Hamilton only was that good because he had the best Car for 7 Years? Norris had the best Car since Miami and the only thing he does is devolving from bottling to Tanking his Championship.

[@chanahasnomana]

He's just another brat with a rich daddy who bought him go karts and racing lessons! Simple. He might be fast, but he's no championship material. He couldn't get past Russell... Russell in a merc that has been the dark horse car. No one was attacking him from the back either, like come on! Pole to P6... bottle of the season. How can his rival be p17 and still managed to place 6 places ahead of him? I was rooting for him mid season. But then he started showing his true colors! Bitching and whining, self criticizing to gain sympathy for poor performances... His interviews tell a lot about who he really is.

Lando was begging to box, George was begging not to box. Looks like George Russell had a better feel for the race than Lando. Lando couldn't pass anyone at all without the team orders. Max passed EVERYONE in front of him. That was a drive of a lifetime from a legend and master of the rain. Lando wasn't saying it was just luck after qualifying was he?

[@dizzyduck44]

[@tengille]

Max made some great overtakes, but he has a brand new engine that is simply overpowered compared to everybody else's older engines. Why is nobody mentioning that? Hamilton did the EXACT same thing in 2021 at Interlagos. We're at the end of a season, everybody has their engine dialed down so they survive and you don't need to take a penalty, but RB (strategically, and smartly) ate a penalty to give their driver a rocket in the last 4 races. That engine helped Max more than anything else.

[@roninsdog261]

Can you imagine how the British press would have reacted if it was Norris that went from 17th to 1st? They'd probably be calling for a public holiday. Instead it was hilarious to see them looking so depressed when talking post race to Horner, hahaha.

[@isaacm2374]

Public holiday lool. British champions: Hamilton, Button, Hill, Mansell, Hunt, Clark, Stewart, Graham Hill and more. Current British race winners: Norris, Hamilton, Russell. Brits are used to winning. Max is the only Dutch champion ever

[@tengille]

Lewis did it, in Brazil, in 2021. F1 fans have a short term memory. Search: "Lewis Hamilton Overtakes EVERYONE! | 2021 Sao Paulo Grand Prix" Red Bull just copied the strategy. Take a brand new engine, at a track that's easy to overtake on. Max is great, but the wrecks + red flag were helpful. The brand new engine was immensely the catalyst for the win.

I was at the Interlagos, and it was incredible. In the sprint race, McLaren was flying - Norris and Piastri were clearly confident. But on Sunday, Max was obviously hungry for victory. Lando showed he's in the title fight because he has the best car, but as a driver, he's still several steps below Verstappen.

[@roguestorm7rooper451]

[@ELcinegatto87]

Max is and has been on another level driving wise compared to his peers. Just look what he does to all his teammates and the rest of the field. Especially in what is now the 3rd fastest car, sometimes the 4th.

[@robinbailey7460]

Oscar was flying - Norris fast but slipping further behind Oscar - Max gradually closing on him. Norris was told to move up closer to Oscar at least twice. Oscar was told more than once to drop back so Norris could get close. Oscar the better driver. In addition Oscar knew from the start his instructions were to hold the challengers back, but he passed Norris early and therefore needed to dragg Norris along. He handed the win to Norris as per orders - Norris would most likely have been passed by Max or Charles or both if Oscar was not there. Oscar did it "for the team" - we are told (Zak Brown) 1 point between 1 & 2. Both in 1 & 2 so it wasn't for the team. The sad irony is that Norris has a win he didn't earn and Oscar gave up a win he earned but handed over. Ultimately in hindsight a bitter pill - Oscar surrendered the win for nothing. Did Oscar wiinge, ignore instructions and beg to keep the place? - no. I recall one race where Oscar was on Norris's tail lap after lap, and others were closing in. Norris refusing instructions to let him through. Finally he did. Lando's saving grace this time is getting out his car and immediately thanking Oscar. I do support Red Bull, Max my driver. However my non-RB drivers are Oscar, Lando and Charles. If Max were to lose the Championship my preference is one of the three. Unfortunately Lando undid everything later with his words - 'not skill' 'luck'.

[@VeryIntellijent]

Cars behave differently in the wet. The biggest problem with that RB is tyre degradation and the rain solved that for them. Meanwhile the McLaren's brakes were useless. If you look at the 3rd restart it's clear Norris brakes noticably earlier than Leclerc but still locked up. Piastri had the same issue to some extent. There were several times when Max had poor exits on turn 12 but still managed to overtake before turn 1. Max was phenomenal but was losing time to Lando when stuck behind Leclerc then Gasly. It isn't luck that Max is the best atp and deserves the WDC, but he was extremely lucky with both the conditions and the timing of Colapinto's crash and nobody can deny that.

[@AntonGudenus]

@@VeryIntellijent Those brakes are controlled directly by the driver... And in the rain they all work nearly the same, due to the limiting factor being the standard tires. The cars are not really fast enough for different downforce to make a huge difference, and they can't put down their whole power in the rain. This in turn negates most differences aerodynamics or the engine would make. So you are left with the drivers and the strategy. Both of which both Alpines and Verstappen did marvelously with.

I've never understood the hate towards the tyre change rule. Firstly it's needed for safety. What if a team got a puncture during the red flag? Are they supposed to start on tyres that are popped? Also, without the rule it'd be unfair to any team that didn't pit before the red flag as they'd be on worn tyres with a bunched up field.

[@Nemo-Ingen]

Anything that can be used as an excuse will be, that's just the lawyers era of F1.

[@brainsmatter7067]

the only hate is from the whingers

[@kityhawk2000]

The safety thing works both ways because the way it currently is the drivers are essentially encouraged to hold out on worn tyres that are becoming increasingly unsafe for the conditions in the hopes of benefiting for a red flag, this in turn makes it more likely someone will crash which makes it more likely they'll be a red flag

[@tengille]

The quick version... those who get to the red flag without pitting gained position and a pit stop, for free. No time loss whatsoever. Their cars got to those positions without "earning it" is probably the thought of the other teams. The longer version... Verstappen, Ocon and Gasly never lost 24 seconds in the pit like Norris, Leclerc and others did. They were lucky in that regard. To discount Max's skill is another thing altogether but Red Bull played their cards right by putting a brand new engine in the car and eat a penalty on a rainy track, at a track that is easy to overtake. They, and Mercedes in the past, have done it many times before at Interlagos. Additionally... Haas has to be furious. They've looked miles better all season (15+ races) compared to Alpine and now Alpine, in 1 race, is ahead of them in the constructors, due to a red flag. Alpine hasn't really "earned" that position, they were lucky.

[@theodentherenewed4785]

I agree with you 100% - the tyre change rule is good. You are sitting in the pit lane, but you can't change tyres - it would be ridiculous. It was different in the refuelling time - you had to pit when running out of gas, now everyone has full control over when they make all pit stops. It would be unfair to favour these who pit before red flags.

Lando has every right to feel frustrated over what happened, but it would be good for him to recognize that Max's drive was a display of genuine skill, not just luck. Hopefully, Lando takes some time over the winter to reflect on his season-evaluating what went well and what didn't. This could also be a valuable opportunity to think about how he might approach a championship battle with Max differently in the future, should he find himself in that position again.

It feels almost intentional, like theyre flaunting their power in response to the criticism. Not great for the perception of the sport.

I'm not a Max fan but I wholeheartedly think this "title fight" was completely fabricated by the media. I don't think there was one race after the summer break where Norris close the gap by more than the minimum he had to to get closer to Verstappen. I remember during the summer break the media saying he had to outscore max every race by 8 points. But after Baku and especially Mexico, they were still praising him for taking points out of Verstappen, even though he had scored less than he needed. MV clearly felt a little bit of pressure (I'd imagine that's way he raced Norris so hard in the US and MEX), maybe the media talk got into him, or he felt FIA was favoring McLaren. But I don't think it was too close for comfort.

[@CrashSeven]

It was on, they just bottled it. And thats the reality. The best care could've easily won so many races and they didn't. This was all down to race strategy being off, no clear 1st and 2nd driver and Norris bottling starts.

No. Before the weekend it was under 2 wins in 4 races (and 2 sprints). Ask Kimi if that is possible or not. For him it was 17 points in 2 races when a win was 10 points

And although Max was stuck behind Leclerc for a while, he was released before the VSC even came and could well have been racing Norris and the Alpines under normal circumstances and overtake them.

As a McLaren supporter, the race for the title never started, Max was always the better driver, and Norris didn’t deserve it anyway. He should focus on keeping the lead in the first corner before thinking about titles. He had the best car the whole second part of the season, and didn’t do anything with it. Don’t talk to me about Piastry, to win a title the first driver you have to beat is your teammate, and he couldn’t do that. In my book, the better driver won, and luck had nothing to do with it.

I never understood why anyone thought that there was a title race in the first place.

Mclaren may win the WDC and WCC next year before the next regulation changes reshuffle the order, but you should put your money on Oscar. The Brit on that team continuously shows that he is too mentally soft and petulant to win a title.
