Lando Norris has plenty of friends up and down the Formula 1 paddock but, when the helmet goes on, the McLaren driver says he completely disregards all of those feelings

Lando Norris has described Max Verstappen as the ‘hardest guy to race’ on the F1 grid amid his tense title fight with the Red Bull driver. McLaren ’s star man now trails the reigning world champion by 52 points with six Grands Prix remaining after taking the chequered flag first in Singapore.
