Max Verstappen predicts tough competition from Lando Norris for world title

Max Verstappen thinks Lando Norris is ready to compete with him for the world championship. Verstappen is unsure about his own chances at the Monaco Grand Prix. Norris recently finished very close behind Verstappen in a race in Imola. Norris is currently 60 points behind in the championship race, but Verstappen believes Norris has the potential to catch up quickly if his team starts winning more races. Verstappen mentioned that their car may struggle on the Monaco track due to its design. He also noted that Ferrari and McLaren have been performing well in recent races. McLaren is honoring former driver Ayrton Senna with a special livery on their car. Verstappen emphasized the importance of focusing on their own performance rather than worrying about other teams. McLaren has not won a world championship since 2008 when Lewis Hamilton was their driver. Verstappen's comments suggest that McLaren's progress motivates other teams to work harder. Despite facing challenges, there are still many opportunities ahead in the season for all teams to improve and compete for the championship.
