TWINNING FEELING

Max and Oscar identical threat to Lando glory

- BY DANIEL MOXON

LANDO NORRIS insists Max Verstappen is no more of a threat than Oscar Piastri despite the four-time champion having all the momentum in the Formula One title race.

Verstappen is now just 24 points behind Norris and level with Piastri after his Las Vegas win and McLaren's double disqualification.

It was his fourth victory in the last seven since Red Bull introduced an upgrade at the Italian Grand Prix in September.

In contrast, Piastri has been slipping further back with each passing weekend and has not stood on a podium since Monza nearly three months ago.

Regardless, Norris said ahead of this weekend's Qatar Grand Prix that he doesn't see one of his rivals as more of a threat than the other.
