Norris still believes he can retain his F1 title

Zandvoort, Netherlands, Aug 21 - Lando Norris, the McLaren driver, remains convinced he can secure his Formula One title, despite not being in the championship race. Qualifying on the front row for the Dutch Grand Prix sprint race, Norris currently holds the fifth position overall, trailing Mercedes' championship leader Kimi Antonelli by a significant 91 points.

With only 12 rounds left in the season, crossing the gap to challenge the Italian seems an uphill struggle. However, it is still mathematically possible, as demonstrated by Red Bull's four-times champion Max Verstappen, who recovered from a 104-point deficit to finish just two points behind Norris' teammate Oscar Piastri at the end of August last year.

Despite the odds, Norris maintains his belief in the possibility, stating, "there's still a chance," and emphasizes his determination to fight for it.
