LAS VEGAS - McLaren's Lando Norris said he has acquired the experience to challenge for a Formula One world championship, but it is "probably too late" to stop Max Verstappen taking a fourth consecutive title on Nov 23.
Verstappen, on 393 points, holds a 62-point lead over Norris, on 331, with 60 more points to be won after the Vegas race. He needs only to stay ahead of Norris, or keep the McLaren driver out of the top nine finishers with the fastest lap, to retain his crown.
Las Vegas is the first of a triple-header finale to the season, followed by Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
"It's been the first time that we've had a chance to fight at the front," said Norris on Nov 21.
"I was definitely not at the level I needed to be at the beginning of the year, but since the summer break I feel I've done a very good job and performed very well, by far some of my best.
