Norris gives Verstappen good news: 'It's not enough at the moment'

In 2024, Norris can often challenge Max Verstappen. At the moment, however, the difference in the championship is still quite large: 78 points. So, with 10 races to go, Norris still has a big gap to make up.

Norris does not see himself as a title contender at the moment

In the podcast, Norris responded to his own statements after the Belgian Grand Prix that he needed the summer break to reset himself: "Look, it's two things. One is just a fresh mindset, almost just trying to reset a little bit. And two is reviewing our season so far. It's been incredible, but from my side, it's not been good enough  I'll do what I can yesterday, today, tomorrow, when we come back before Zandvoort and even during the summer holiday," Norris said.

The Briton continued, "I'll use the time [during the summer break] to review and kind of reflect on my good things and also the things that I need to and have to improve if I want to be a contender. Because at the minute, simply I don't have what it takes because I've clearly made too many mistakes. But I know that. I don't need people to tell me that, you know. So I know what I've got to improve on, but it's about how I can work with the people I have around me who are there to support me to improve on these areas. And once I improve, then I'm confident things can look very, very strong. But at the minute, I definitely have those few areas to improve on."
