Lando Norris has denied claims that the 2025 F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix was a missed opportunity in the title race. With Oscar Piastri crashing out on the opening lap of the race, Norris had a big opportunity to reduce his teammate’s lead in the F1 drivers’ championship. An extended first stint on the mediums allowed Norris to ultimately get ahead of Leclerc, thanks to a significant tyre delta. When asked if this weekend was a missed opportunity, Norris replied: “I don’t know why everyone says that! Every race I didn’t win was an opportunity missed so of course today I wanted more.
