LANDO SAYS BEING RUTHLESS IS JUST NOT HIS STYLE

- DANIEL MOXON

LANDO NORRIS says he will resist the temptation to “be a d***” and will not change his approach to fighting with Max Verstappen.

Norris won a Formula One race for the first time in Miami in early May and has been a chief rival to the Dutch world champion over the six race weekends since.

But he has not been able to add to that Floridian success.

A mixture of Norris’ own mistakes and a few McLaren strategy blunders have cost them the chance to win more silverware.

And some have criticised the Briton, accusing him of lacking the ruthlessness which has helped Verstappen to dominate the sport with Red Bull.
