Lando Norris is not ruling himself out of the race to win a second consecutive Formula One title, claiming the pressure is on leader Kimi Antonelli.

The Italian heads into the summer break with a 50-point lead over Lewis Hamilton at the top of the drivers' championship standings.

Norris won his first race of 2026, converting pole at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday, to close the gap to Antonelli to 91 points, though he remains fifth in the standings.

It is the first time the Briton has won the same Grand Prix more than once, with this his 12th victory in F1.

There are still 11 rounds remaining in the season, but it is not an impossible target to chase down – last year, Max Verstappen was 104 points off the lead with 10 races to go but finished just two points behind Norris.

"The pressure is on him [Antonelli] for sure. There's no pressure on me. I've been feeling very confident," Norris told Sky Sports F1.

"They [Mercedes] have made more mistakes as a team, and we have made less, and we have come strong, but I expect them to still win races and expect us to win more races.

"We just need to be perfect from here on now for the whole year.

"We need to improve the car still. We were certainly the quickest in Hungary from qualifying to the race.

"Not every race is going to be this simple, and we are going to be as quick, so we need to work hard to try to get the car to be this good to get the car to be this good everywhere. If we can, maybe that's a genuine question."

The F1 season gets back underway with the Dutch Grand Prix, which will take place on August 23.
