 | Ex-pilot F-1 Dornbos: Piastes will win many titles, Norris has no unique flair. Like Vettel against Kulthard, Webber, Dornbos3-09-2025 |
Dornbos compared Norris with him, and Piastus with Vettel. Former Formula-1 racer Robert Dornbos said what is the difference between McLaren Oscar Piast and Lando Norris.
In the fact that [Norris] is not at the level of Oscar. I believe that Oscar is really a champion -level pilot who will win many titles in the near future.
There is a difference with a very good pilot that is able to win in racing, to fight, but which has no unique flair.
For example, there were Kulthard, Webber, Dornbos. Great racers, but there was Sebastian Vettel, who was always two or three tenths faster. And if you calculate how much the Grand Prix will accumulate . . .
and how the Oscar pilots and defends is different [from the style of Norris].
It is a pure talent. Data is not lying, right? When I spent races with Vettel in a sherry on one car, he was three tenths faster. You look at the data and see: Okay, in the first turn it slows down two meters later. But there are 300 km/h - what is two meters at such speed?
Pure instinct. He presses gas half a second earlier. For 15 turns, three tenths are obtained, and these are three tenths for 70 circles in a row. If all this is folded, there will be the difference between the catwalk and the finish of the eighth or ninth, ”Dornbos said in the podcast The Pit Talk.
