With 56 points this season, Lando Norris is in third place in the drivers’ standings. His consistent performances since his debut in 2019 have earned him a new day: the future world champion.

Although this day is not new even for F1, Seidl admits that there are many future world champions at the start today. This leaves him no choice but to look forward to comments on Norris as the future world champion.

Can Lando Norris win a world title with McLaren?

However, its competition is extremely tough. Norris belongs to a very talented generation of young drivers. Some of these drivers are Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz.

With Red Bull being the only team that competes against Mercedes year after year, Verstappen seems to have the best chances for a title at the moment. With Ferrari revived, Leclerc and Sainz can continue to fight for titles in the future. Should he switch to Mercedes, George Russell could also be one of the drivers who can win a world title.

Right now, Norris’ chances of winning a world title depend on what McLaren looks like in 2022 and beyond.
