It is time for Part Two of the “Super Colossal F1 Threads Mailbag.” If you missed Part One, you can read that here. Normally I would dive into a little bit of an introduction, but we have a lot to get to,

McLaren is ahead of Red Bull in the Formula 1 constructors’ race. Now for Lando Norris to put pressure on Max Verstappen for the drivers’ title.

Lando Norris was fastest in the second Formula 1 practice session at the Singapore Grand Prix, maintaining a tight battle with Charles Leclerc at the top of the timing boards. Norris led the way with a 1m30.

Lando Norris has admitted he hoped to have a “much bigger gap” over Charles Leclerc following a strong showing in Friday F1 practice at the Singapore Grand Prix. Norris topped the timesheets in FP2, with less than a tenth advantage over Leclerc. Like in Azerbaijan, the battle for victory looks set to between McLaren and Ferrari.

Ferrari traditionally go well in Singapore, while Leclerc is fresh from taking pole position in Baku for the fourth year running. However, Norris was seeking his third pole in a row in that race, only to be eliminated in the first part of qualifying when an incident ahead of him prevented him from improving his lap time.

For Lando Norris to only gain three points on Max Verstappen in the Formula One championship fight may have been met with disappointment going into the Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend. All the momentum has been with Norris and McLaren, making what once seemed like a long shot for the title look more realistic as Verstappen’s points lead ebbed away.

F1 betting sites go 7/4 on Norris capturing his first championship this year and that price could be cut if he manages to keep his cool in the humid head of Singapore.

Lando Norris insists he is still the driver with "nothing to lose" in his Formula 1 title fight with Max Verstappen. While slowly reeling in Verstappen in the drivers' championship, Norris has not taken full advantage of the drop-off in pace of the Red Bull in recent races.
