- British driver won Australian Grand Prix in season opener
- Norris wary of complacency: ‘if you relax, you have failed’
Britain’s Lando Norris believes he and his McLaren team are now favourites for the 2025 Formula One world championship after a strong victory at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix – but Ferrari’s team principal, Frédéric Vasseur, admitted his team had to up their game in working with Lewis Hamilton.
After a dramatic and incident packed race in mixed wet and dry conditions, Norris took the flag for his first victory in Australia, the first time he has won the opening race of a season and the perfect start for the 25-year-old’s title ambitions.
