Norris: I'm driving better than my title year, but probably can't defend the crown

2025 world champion Lando Norris says his driving has improved significantly in 2026 compared to his title-winning season, yet concedes he is unlikely to defend the crown. His Hungarian Grand Prix win on July 27, McLaren's first of the year, followed that assertion. Team principal Andrea Stella called Norris "much more confident" and "more in control of his emotions."
