At least not YET. Eddie Jordan brutally dismissed the title contender, stating that he is not ready to be a world champion. It would be hard to argue with this statement.
“Lando simply isn’t at that level yet, he hasn’t matured enough to be a champion. Anyone who can't convert pole position into a win shouldn't even dream of the championship title. He certainly has the pace, he just needs to put his mind to it.
Just look at the Brazilian Grand Prix and what Max Verstappen did there… Have we ever seen anything like that from Lando Norris? He has never shown anything like it, ever. He needs to look in the mirror, pull himself together, and learn to be ruthless, because he isn’t one yet. True winners don't respect anyone, they don't know jokes or friendships, and Lando needs to learn this too. This year he couldn't convert his opportunities into wins, he got stuck at the starting line, and with this many race wins, no one has ever become a world champion…” - was the harsh judgment from Jordan.
Do you agree with him?
