That twist came in Miami on Sunday, as McLaren&#8217;s Lando Norris, aged 24, stunned everyone with a surprise victory over the formidable Dutchman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verstappen&#8217;s overwhelming success, winning four out of six races this season, left little room for doubt about his prowess. Yet, to keep the excitement alive, F1 required a fresh face on the winner&#8217;s podium. Norris&#8217;s triumph provided just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/24hscore.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">24hscore<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LANDO.

His near-misses, like the one at Sochi in 2021, where a tire strategy misstep cost him victory in heavy rain, earned him the online moniker &#8216;Lando NoWins.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After clinching victory, Norris, beaming with pride, didn&#8217;t miss the opportunity to address his critics. &#8220;I am happy to put that to bed and prove a lot of these people wrong,&#8221; he declared in his post-race press conference. He even took joy in the online banter, relishing in the nickname &#8216;Lando NoWins&#8217; and thanking those who doubted him for the added motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For McLaren, whose last Grand Prix win was at Monza in 2021, Norris&#8217;s victory was a long-awaited triumph. Team principal Andrea Stella praised Norris&#8217;s resilience and the team&#8217;s effort in providing him with a competitive car. &#8220;The victory for Lando, he deserved it so much, and we always said as soon as we give him the right material he&#8217;s going to make it,&#8221; Stella remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is what it means. ? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LandoNorris?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@LandoNorris<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eH4iIJpYWT\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/eH4iIJpYWT<\/a><\/p>&mdash; McLaren (@McLarenF1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/McLarenF1\/status\/1787248901461811451?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">May 5, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the pressure and anticipation, Norris remained steadfast in his belief in his abilities. &#8220;I&#8217;ve of course had my moments where I&#8217;ve been close, and I&#8217;ve never been able to convert it into the win,&#8221; he admitted. However, he never doubted his potential to win a Grand Prix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting on his breakthrough victory, Norris admitted to savoring the moment and acknowledging the journey that led him there. &#8220;You never know when they&#8217;re going to come towards you, but today was that day,&#8221; he said. However, he wasted no time in shifting focus to the celebrations ahead. &#8220;I&#8217;m not gonna sleep,&#8221; he exclaimed. &#8220;I&#8217;m going all the way!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Miami, Norris not only secured his maiden Grand Prix victory but also injected much-needed excitement and unpredictability into the F1 season, proving that in the world of motorsport, anything can happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Formula 1 has seen a surge in popularity in the United States, largely fueled by the Netflix series &#8216;Drive to Survive.&#8217; However, with Max Verstappen&#8217;s dominant streak, the sport was in need of a shake-up.
