Lando Norri will be determined to win the
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in order to clinch the runner-up spot in the 2024 Formula One World Championship.
Most recent race
The McLaren driver endured a disappointing race at the Qatar Grand Prix on 1 December, the most recent event in the 2024 Formula One World Championship season.
Leclerc started on the third grid and he slipped up which saw him finish 10th, but he finished second in the sprint event which saw him collect a total of nine points from the race.
Formula One title ambitions
The 2016 Autosport BRDC Award winner is still placed second on the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 349 points.
Norris is eight points ahead of third-placed Charles Leclerc of Ferrari, while leader Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing has already been crowned this season's champion.
Why Norris could win the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
The former member of the McLaren Young Driver Programme has won three races in the current season namely, the Miami Grand Prix, Singapore Grand Prix and Dutch Grand Prix.
Norris, who has never finished outside the top 10 in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, has what it takes to win this weekend's race.
What did he say?
“The team gave me a great car today, it was the quickest out there," Norris said after the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix.
"So I'm disappointed we haven’t been able to secure maximum points in Qatar. I know the rules around Yellow Flags, but I missed it. I have to take that on the chin. I can only apologise to the team.
“We have one more weekend to go now and we’ll head to Abu Dhabi with the same mindset as any other weekend, and that’s wanting to win.”
