LANDO NORRIS will not win the Formula One drivers championship because he has “mental weaknesses”, according to Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko.
With just six rounds of the season to go, McLaren star Norris sits 52 points behind reigning champion Max Verstappen.

But Helmut Marko has said Norris’ pre-race rituals show ‘mental weaknesses’[/caption]
The Brit will be hoping to close the gap at this weekend’s US Grand Prix, having won two of the last four races.
However, Red Bull advisor Marko has started the mind games in an effort to throw the 24-year-old off his game as the championship reaches crunch time.
Speaking to Motorsport Magazin, the 81-year-old backed Verstappen to win his fourth title this year.
He said: “Verstappen [will win the championship].
“He is the best, he’s the fastest and, above all, he has the mental strength to theoretically fight for the world championship more than Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris.
“We know Norris has some mental weaknesses.
“I’ve read about some of the rituals he needs to do to perform well on race day.”
Back in 2022, Norris revealed one of these pre-race rituals.
“Still my mum wants to hear my voice before I go race.”
Despite putting their lives on the line and racing at break-neck speeds every race weekend, F1 stars are a superstitious bunch.
Michael Schumacher famously got his car from the left, always carried an amulet with the initials of his family members and had a preference to wear odd numbers after winning all of seven of his titles with odd numbers.
Lewis Hamilton also revealed that Schumacher used to pee in his racesuit before every race, a practice also followed by Nico Rosberg.
Four-time champion Sebastian Vettel dressed his racesuit with small trinkets ranging from a metal pig to a one-cent coin and placing two shining pieces of lucky silver on his race boots.

The legendary Alberto Ascari had a range of quirks ranging from avoiding black cats, staying away from unlucky numbers and not allowing anyone else to handle the case that had his lucky blue helmet – cruelly ironic given that he was killed in a testing accident while wearing Eugenio Castellotti’s white helmet rather than his own.
On the current grid, Sergio Perez personalises his car by carrying a picture of the late Pope John Paul II on the inside of his cockpit.
Charles Leclerc likes to sit next to his car in his bubble, Pierre Gasly has an espresso and naps for 30 mins, while Fernando Alonso jumps on the right side of his car before the race.
Meanwhile, Alex Albon meticulously sticks to his pre-race routine, from eating 90 minutes before a race, changing into his gear 30 minutes before setting up a cubby for his equipment.
And despite Marko’s comments about Norris’ pre-race rituals, Verstappen has his own rituals, where he plays video games the night before a race to help get him in the zone.

AN INCREDIBLE collection of Britain’s rarest cars were recently put on display – including a Citroen dubbed “too weird” for the road.
Petrolheads gathered at the Classic & Retro Car Revival motor show at Tatton Park, Knutsford, back in August to gaze upon over 1,000 cars – including a host of seldom seen machines considered critically endangered.

Among the many motors parked up at the stately home in Cheshire were 16 cars from the Telegraph’s famous series of the nation’s rarest machines.
An impressive Austin Ambassador was among them, produced in 1983 as an updated version of the Princess.
Only sold in the UK, today only 14 Ambassadors remain on the roads in Britain out of 43,500 built.
A few years before that, Austin, a subsidiary of British Leyland, also produced the largely forgotten Wolseley “Wedge” – a motor that was only offered by Leyland for seven months in 1975 before introducing the Princess badge.
Today, only seven of the last-ever Wolseley are believed to remain on the road.
A more familiar-looking Ford Sierra 1.6-litre also made the list, alongside the Peugeot 604 and the little-known Toyota Crown.
The state-of-the-art Crown even boasts a fridge underneath the parcel shelf, and the model was known for being expensive when new and equally as pricey to maintain.
Audi is adored by executives and the like in 2024 for their stylish, performance saloons – and it was very much the same case in the 1970s with the C1-series Audi 100 GL.
According to the Telegraph, many enthusiasts chose to restore the Coupe S version of the 100, which consequently meant the four-door version is now much rarer.
Car fanatics were also treated to the Colt Sapporo with its bizarre aircraft-style console, sat alongside the Colt Galant 2000 Turbo – capable of 127 mph.
While the Austin Allegro remains a cult favourite among Brits, the Special LE iteration – with its Sundym tinted glass, passenger door mirror, and lockable fuel cap – was considered exclusive and luxurious in the 1970s.
Further on, there’s the seven-seater Saab 95 from 1963 with its three-cylinder, two-stroke engine, alongside the curiously four-wheel-drive Toyota Tercel.
The Fiat 127 may seem familiar to road users around in the 1970s, but today they’re seldom seen on UK roads, as is the Citroen BX – a car dubbed “too weird” for most.
The incredible build, which resembles the look of modern day Rolls-Royce cars such as the Phantom and the Ghost, took the creator just 120 days to complete.
These vehicles could face a swift decline “as the automotive industry shifts towards electric vehicles, and includes the cult favourite Hyundai Coupe and the very popular Renault Megane.”
