À propos de cet audio
Lando Norris heads into late September 2025 as a central figure of Formula 1 drama and intrigue, carrying both the hopes and scrutiny that come from being a world title contender and recent British Grand Prix winner. Most recently, headlines from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku captured much of the media’s attention. Norris finished seventh—a result he deemed not a missed opportunity, given his grid position and a race where overtaking proved nearly impossible. He calmly deflected criticism, saying he and McLaren had maximized what was possible that weekend, especially after teammate Oscar Piastri crashed out on the first lap. However, the aftermath thrust Norris deeper into a high-stakes McLaren power struggle, with former Haas boss Guenther Steiner telling Motorsport.com that the team should consider relegating Norris to a support role in favor of current points leader Piastri. Jacques Villeneuve, as reported by Speedcafe, went further, urging McLaren to pick a true number one driver instead of allowing Norris and Piastri equal status while Max Verstappen gains ground in the standings.
On the business front, McLaren just unveiled Groq as a new official partner, with their logo now featuring on the McLaren F1 cars starting from the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix according to a press release widely carried in racing media. Norris was part of the promotional imagery, further solidifying his role as a corporate ambassador and brand magnet for McLaren.
Social media has been ablaze with speculation and debate about team orders, the Norris-Piastri rivalry, and Norris's response to pressure. A notable trend on Threads has fans and pundits fiercely debating whether Norris will accept a potential supporting role or fight independently for the championship. While Norris himself has posted a series of witty, self-deprecating comments about the difficulty of his job—his recent quote to the Associated Press describing the Azerbaijan weekend as evidence that racing looks easier than it is has been widely shared—the intensity is unmistakable.
In terms of biographical significance, 2025 continues to shape up as perhaps the most consequential year of Norris’s career. Having now secured nine career wins and standing as a McLaren mainstay through at least 2027, he faces real questions about his legacy, his rivalry with Piastri, and whether this season marks the true pivot from prodigy to champion. Off the track, Norris’s personal life still courts speculation as he is openly dating Portuguese model and actress Margarida Corceiro, with paparazzi shots and entertainment outlets mentioning the couple’s high-profile appearances after the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Despite the race setbacks and an ever-mounting wave of strategic scrutiny, Lando Norris remains fully in the public eye—equal parts star driver, lightning rod for criticism, and next-gen sporting celebrity.
