McLaren’s Lando Norris was left despondent after ending sixth on the Belgian Grand Prix

An exhilarating marketing campaign for neutrals has seen seven totally different drivers – from 4 totally different groups – win through the opening 14 races, however the unfold of victories has been a think about stopping Norris from closing the hole to Verstappen.

With 10 races to go, beginning with this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix, there are a number of key parts to look at when contemplating Norris’ possibilities of pulling off a well-known comeback.

Who has the quicker automotive?

There’s little doubt that since being kitted out with early-season upgrades, the McLaren has been probably the most constant automotive on observe when it comes to tempo.

The MCL38 has contended for victory, via both Norris or team-mate Oscar Piastri, at nearly each circuit since Miami.

Norris began on pole in Spain and Hungary and held real leads on the entrance of the sphere in Canada and Britain. He additionally was faster than Verstappen in Austria earlier than the pair collided when battling for the lead within the closing phases.

Pink Bull tried to hit again with a significant set of upgrades in Hungary within the penultimate race earlier than the break, however the brand new elements made little distinction as Verstappen was left irate by his automotive’s lack of efficiency.

Whereas there have been three weekends with out F1, the enforced two-week shutdown that groups should adhere to through the summer time break means there is not an enormous period of time to make advances with automotive growth.

With that in thoughts, it might be truthful to count on McLaren to have a slight tempo benefit over Pink Bull at many of the remaining circuits.

Historical past on Verstappen’s facet

As we noticed all through June and July, having the quickest automotive alone is not essentially sufficient to ensure race wins.

Verstappen battled to victories in Canada and Spain when the Pink Bull wasn’t at its greatest, and can at all times present a formidable problem to Norris, or every other driver attempting to beat him.

The most important comeback within the historical past of the Drivers’ Championship got here in 2012 when Sebastian Vettel overturned a 39-point deficit with seven races remaining.

That places in perspective the problem dealing with Norris with 10 races remaining, though the Brit does have some further factors accessible from the three Dash weekends to return.

Verstappen’s consistency is such that for Norris to shut the hole, he’ll probably want some luck within the type of at the very least one, if not a number of DNFs for his rival.

The position of Piastri and Mercedes

Verstappen doubtlessly has one other layer of safety supplied by some fairly unlikely sources.

Wins within the final 4 races had been shared by Norris’ McLaren team-mate Piastri and Mercedes’ duo of George Russell and Verstappen’s previous rival Lewis Hamilton.

In idea, having different quick automobiles within the combine may very well be useful to Norris in the event that they had been to complete behind him and in entrance of Verstappen, but it surely wasn’t understanding like that within the weeks earlier than the summer time break.

Pay attention to the radio messages from McLaren all through the Hungarian Grand Prix

Piastri completed forward of Norris within the final two races, most notably when successful in Hungary after a workforce orders controversy during which McLaren made it clear they weren’t prioritising the Brit.

In distinction, Verstappen’s team-mate Sergio Perez has been absent from the battle on the entrance, however would little question be anticipated to comply with workforce orders ought to he be able to supply help.

And as for Mercedes, solely wins are going to be sufficient to allow Norris to shut the hole on Verstappen, due to this fact the Silver Arrows taking them will not be useful.

Hamilton has rediscovered his magic contact with two victories in three races after a 56-race winless streak, whereas there seems to be confidence at Mercedes that extra efficiency beneficial properties are to return.

Verstappen would possibly lose some factors to Piastri and the Mercedes drivers, however so long as they take factors from Norris too, they’re going to be doing the championship chief a favour.

May Pink Bull tensions boil over?

So with many parts in his favour, none extra so than his expertise, might issues actually go spectacularly unsuitable for Verstappen and Pink Bull?

Earlier than this yr such a suggestion would have been shortly dismissed, however this has been a really unusual marketing campaign for the workforce and its star driver.
