But in terms of pushing each other, having the same car for three years, the same engineers, the same everything, it just makes a big difference, Norris added.
It’s not that easy to jump into a new team with new engineers, new systems, new ways of working, and just be on it straight away. I think that’s where we have a good advantage over other teams, and that’s why we’re able to be as strong as we are.
Norris currently leads the drivers’ championship by 14 points over Piastri after winning the opening two races in Australia and China. The pair are set to continue their battle for the title at the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend.
We have a strong bond and understanding between us, which helps us work together seamlessly. That’s what sets us apart from other teams. It’s not about individual talent, it’s about how well we work together as a unit. And I believe that gives us an edge over our competitors.
