Still possible for Norris to win title: Hamilton

SAO PAULO - Lewis Hamilton believes Lando Norris can still catch and beat defending three-time world champion Max Verstappen to the Formula One title this season, thanks to the performance of his McLaren car and team.

- AFP

Speaking ahead of this weekend's Sao Paulo Grand Prix, the seven-time champion welcomed the excitement their duel has brought to the run-in this campaign.

He also suggested a return to gravel traps instead of forgiving run-off areas was the only way to curtail Verstappen's aggressive style that saw him twice penalised 10 seconds in Mexico last weekend.

"It's really exciting for the sport," said Hamilton, who was the victim of similar tactics by the Dutchman at the 2021 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

"The last couple of years have not necessarily been so exciting, with Max just leading the way and that sometimes happens. But I think it's been exciting for the fans to see that it can go down to the wire this year. There's still a possibility of Lando catching up.
