Lando Norris is feeling the heat as F1 fans have spoken loud and clear in a recent poll! The pressure is on for Norris as he gears up for the second half of the season, with fans believing he’s the one under the most scrutiny, not championship leader Oscar Piastri.
With the championship battle heating up and Piastri leading Norris by a mere eight points, the competition is fierce as they both aim for their first drivers’ world championship title. The excitement continues to build as the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa approaches this weekend.
Despite a rocky start to the season with Norris making some early mistakes, he has managed to turn the tide by winning three of the last five races, narrowing the gap with Piastri. The stakes are high as both drivers eye the ultimate prize.
In a recent RacingNews365 poll, fans were asked to vote on who they think will face the most pressure in the upcoming races. Norris emerged as the frontrunner, garnering 31.18% of the total votes. Piastri, on the other hand, received only 8.24% of the votes, highlighting the intense focus on Norris as the season progresses.
Other notable figures in the poll included Laurent Mekies, the new Red Bull boss, who received 25.29% of the votes. Meanwhile, Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen trailed behind with 14.71% and 10.59% respectively. The pressure is on for Mekies to revamp Red Bull’s performance after taking over from Christian Horner, while Hamilton strives for his maiden GP podium with Ferrari.
As the F1 drama unfolds, all eyes are on Norris as he shoulders the expectations of fans and pundits alike. Stay tuned for more updates and don’t miss out on the next pulse-pounding RN365 poll!
