[Saba Sports News] In a recent media interview,
Ralf Schumacher discussed the prospects of the upcoming F1 season. While he
believes that Red Bull Racing could once again demonstrate their dominance, he
also anticipates that their driver, Max Verstappen, will face challenges from
various competitors. When asked about who has the best chance to challenge
Verstappen’s dominance, Ralf expressed his opinion. He believes that McLaren
driver Lando Norris might have a chance to compete with Verstappen in the 2024
season. Ralf stated, “Norris is also an exceptional driver, although he
may sometimes push too hard during qualifying. If he has a good car, I think he
could become Verstappen’s challenger.” Norris emerged from the McLaren
youth training program and officially joined the McLaren F1 Team in 2019. He
achieved his first career F1 podium at the Austrian Grand Prix in 2020,
showcasing his impressive talent.
