Norris is legitimately making me a Max fan; something I thought impossible years ago. He proves to me that he doesn’t have what it takes under pressure. Strategic blunders aside, he didn’t drive that race like he needed to win it (again) and it shows.
I hate saying it but I’m rooting for Max to win right now, because he’s the best, and he will have earned his win if he wins. Norris will squeak by with circumstantial luck if he ends up winning, and that’s some weak shit.
This is the exact reasoning I’ll back Piastri until it’s over :D
