Verstappen Fifth F1 Title Out of Reach
As the 2025 Formula 1 season approaches, the anticipation is building, and the question on everyone’s mind is: can anyone stop Max Verstappen from claiming his fifth consecutive championship? According to Dutch racing driver Tim Coronel, the answer is a resounding yes. Coronel firmly believes that Lando Norris, the talented McLaren driver, has what it takes to dethrone Verstappen and claim the title for himself.
Coronel’s prediction is based on Norris’s impressive performance in the latter half of the 2024 season, where he managed to close the gap with Verstappen. Although Verstappen ultimately secured his fourth consecutive championship, Coronel is convinced that Norris has the skills and the car to go all the way this year.
Speaking to RacingNews365, Coronel praised Norris’s exceptional driving skills, saying, “You’re as good as your last race, and he’s just ridiculously good.” He also highlighted Norris’s ability to accelerate and maintain his speed, even under pressure. Coronel is confident that McLaren will provide Norris with the best car, and if Norris can manage to stay focused and avoid unnecessary pressure, he will be unstoppable.
Coronel also believes that Norris has learned from his past experiences and will adopt a more robust approach to racing Verstappen this year. Norris has already declared that he will get his “elbows out” for the season ahead, and Coronel thinks this newfound aggression will serve him well. “I think Norris has grown along the way, and those problems will no longer be there. So I think Norris will distance himself at the start,” Coronel predicted.
While Verstappen’s dominance in recent years has been impressive, Coronel believes that Norris has the talent and the determination to break his winning streak. With the 2025 season promising to be a closely fought affair, Coronel’s prediction adds an extra layer of excitement to the mix. Will Norris be able to live up to Coronel’s expectations and dethrone Verstappen? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the 2025 Formula 1 season is shaping up to be an unforgettable one.
As the season gets underway, fans will be eagerly watching to see if Coronel’s prediction comes true. Can Norris finally break through and claim the championship, or will Verstappen continue his winning ways? The battle for supremacy is about to begin, and it promises to be an epic one.
