 | Lando Norris: I do not think that people are afraid of Fersstappen. Rather, they fear what he is capable of on the track11-02-2025 |
Norris does not feel fear of Fersstappen. The McLaren pilot spoke about the features of the psychological struggle in the confrontation with Max Fersstappen in the 2024 season.
According to Lando, Max does not inspire fear in the rivals in the literal sense of the word, but his speed sometimes can cause them fears.
I don`t think people are afraid of Max. Are people afraid of what Max is capable of on a racing highway in terms of speed? Does anyone think before the session: here is the devil, Max is very good in this weekend, he was quickly in practice and will be incredibly fast and further? Yes, one hundred percent.
Similar things are happening in football, and indeed in other sports in general. When an athlete or team is in excellent shape and perform very well, rivals can be afraid of them - they are afraid of what they can be capable of in this form. But you are not experiencing fear. Rather, you just understand that you should give all your ways to the limit of your capabilities.
And yes, in the case of Max, sometimes people cannot afford to take risks and give him a fight, to provide the necessary resistance. The same was with me this year.
Max has nothing to lose, in general. For some reason, it was I who was constantly in the position in which I risked to lose something. If no one takes points, Max will win anyway (due to early leadership in the championship). That`s all. My position has always been vulnerable. I hope that the next season we will be able to start better and then the situation will change, ”said Norris.
