Lando Norris is leading the Formula 1 drivers’ championship after a start to the season he would have “dreamed of” – but he admits he is heading into the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix lacking in confidence. The McLaren has proved to be the class of the field so far in 2025, but Norris has complained how difficult it is to tame the MCL39 with his driving style and he has seen team-mate Oscar Piastri claim two victories since Norris himself took the chequered flag in Australia.
