Former Red Bull F1 champion Sebastian Vettel is secretly advising McLaren’s Lando Norris in a shocking twist in the title battle against Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. Vettel, a four-time world champion with Red Bull, has been sharing his wisdom with Norris as he aims to dethrone Verstappen and Piastri in the quest for championship glory.
Norris, who has been struggling with a series of errors, has not won a race since the season opener in Australia, raising doubts about his competitiveness. Despite facing criticism for his downbeat demeanor, Norris has found solace in Vettel’s guidance, with the German legend praising him for his candid self-assessments.
The 25-year-old British driver, who finished behind Verstappen in the 2024 season despite showing promising speed, is now trailing Piastri in the current championship standings. McLaren’s strong car performance has put pressure on Norris to deliver better results, especially after setbacks like a crash in the Saudi Arabian GP and a disappointing sixth-place finish in Miami.
As Norris strives to close the gap to Piastri and Verstappen, the F1 world watches eagerly to see if he can mount a serious challenge for the championship. With Vettel’s mentoring and a determined mindset, Norris is gearing up for a fierce battle in the upcoming races of the European leg of the F1 calendar.
