I can Land the title

Norris has belief to take it to Max

- DANIEL MOXON

LANDO NORRIS claims he finally has the self-belief he needs to beat Max Verstappen and become world champion.

The Brit has admitted he didn't have the confidence to stop the Dutchman last year.

But after holding off Verstappen's late charge to win the season-opener in Melbourne, Norris now knows he has got what it takes.

The 25-year-old said: “I feel like I have come into this season more calm and more relaxed than I normally am.

“I have a little bit of confidence, not too much of it but I lacked confidence last season. Now I have a good balance of confidence and the knowledge that I can go out and do well when I have got to do it.
