Lando Norris proved again that he looks to be the driver who can challenge Max Verstappen, after finishing closely behind him during Sunday's Grand Prix in Imola. In his analysis of the race, Peter Windsor shared in his latest YouTube video why he thinks Norris is great for Formula 1. 

Discussing the comments Norris made on his radio, as well as how close he was to Verstappen towards the end of the race, Windsor pointed out what makes the British driver such a great fit for the sport: "I mean Lando is great for Formula 1, he's great in terms of his personality, and the way he thinks about his racing and his responses to his engineers. He's also great to watch as a racing driver."

'This hurts much more than it used to'

As he crossed the line in second on Sunday, Norris took to his radio to thank his engineers, and said that finishing second "hurts much more than it used to" after his win in Miami. Nevertheless, Windsor is confident that the British driver will win more grand prixs in the future: "He now knows what it's like to win, of course."

"That's when you start getting in the mode of well when you finish second, just a reminder that you didn't win the race. Just as you think from wow we finished second, so yeah that was the new Lando Norris and he's super competitive now. He's going to win more Grands Prix, absolutely no doubt the way he's driving and the way McLaren are going as well, just brilliant."
