Lando Norris admitted in Singapore that Max Verstappen is now a "genuinely a challenger" for the 2025 Formula One championship as the season approaches its final races. Verstappen is targeting his third consecutive grand prix win and his first ever in Singapore.

• Verstappen is currently 44 points behind second-placed Norris, and 69 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri.
• Red Bull's Verstappen has never won at Singapore's Marina Bay Circuit but finished second in 2024.
• McLaren's Norris aims to re-establish dominance after recent upgrades to Red Bull's car put them "on the same level."
