Damon Hill WARNS Lando Norris; Avoid Falling Into Verstappan’s Trap
Former Formula 1 world champion Damon Hill has advised Lando Norris to be cautious when battling Max Verstappen on track, urging the McLaren driver to avoid making the same mistakes that have cost him in previous encounters. Hill’s warning comes as the 2025 season approaches, with Norris expected to be a key challenger to Verstappen’s dominance.
Norris has had several intense on-track battles with the Red Bull star, but in some cases, his aggressive approach has backfired. Most notably, their clash at last season’s Austrian Grand Prix saw Norris attempting a bold move, only to end up losing valuable points after contact with Verstappen. Hill believes Norris must learn from these experiences to mount a serious title challenge.
*”Max is a master at controlling battles and pushing drivers into making mistakes,”* Hill explained. *”Lando has the speed and skill to take him on, but he needs to be smarter in wheel-to-wheel situations. If he falls into the same trap again, Verstappen will punish him for it.”*
With McLaren’s recent resurgence, Norris is seen as one of the few drivers capable of challenging Red Bull. However, Hill insists that pure speed won’t be enough Norris must also play the mental game against Verstappen, who is known for his aggressive yet calculated racing style.
As the 2025 season opener in Australia nears, all eyes will be on Norris to see if he has taken Hill’s advice to heart. If he can refine his racecraft and avoid Verstappen’s strategic traps, he could emerge as a serious contender in what is shaping up to be a thrilling season.
