Damon Hill believes his own experience at the top of Formula 1 gives him a clear perspective on what separates a single championship success from long-term dominance in the sport.
The 1996 world champion does not view Lando Norris as a driver who has simply enjoyed one standout season, but rather as someone laying the foundations for a sustained period of success.
Hill sees Norris’ rise as the beginning of a much larger story, suggesting that the McLaren driver has the mentality and ability required to remain at the front once he has reached the summit.
After Norris’ thrilling title victory in 2025, Hill feels that breaking through that barrier could unlock even greater confidence and consistency in the seasons to come.
In his view, Norris’ first championship is not an isolated achievement, but a signal that multiple world titles could be within reach if circumstances and performance continue to align.
