Lando Norris previews his chances of winning the Japanese GP

McLaren driver Lando Norris acknowledged that it will be his best chance yet to beat the Red Bull and secure the maiden win of his F1 career on Sunday.

In his post-quali press conference, the Brit said:

"I'll say yes. It's so tricky. Sergio's doing a good job, so that's one much harder car to kind of keep up with. But we proved last year when we were further away from them that we could keep in touch and not be miles behind. So that will be our target for tomorrow. But I think realistically, we're still too far away to challenge them."

"They're too quick for us. Yes, we are quicker in quali, but in the race, normally, they always pull away a bit more. So, I think we'll be realistic. I'm always realistic when I say it. So I think our competition's with the guys behind. And at the same time, I'll do my best to push forward."

Hopefully, Lando Norris can go one better on Sunday from last year, where he finished P2, and win his first race in front of the Japanese fans.
