Norris feels he's doing a better job than last year
Norris outlook
Norris described his current form as better than last season, suggesting confidence in the quality of his driving even without a dominant points position.
That kind of statement matters because F1 title fights are often shaped by belief as much as raw speed, especially when a driver is trying to stay relevant in the standings.
Championship gap
The championship context was less flattering: Antonelli had built a large lead, making Norris’s progress feel more symbolic than decisive.
This contrast shows why a driver can look improved without yet being a true title contender, particularly when another rival is stacking strong results.
Implications
The most important question is whether Norris can turn stronger personal form into repeated finishes near the front.
If he cannot, then even clear progress will not be enough to alter the championship hierarchy before the season closes.
