Lando Norris insists he is still the driver with "nothing to lose" in his Formula 1 title fight with Max Verstappen.
While slowly reeling in Verstappen in the drivers' championship, Norris has not taken full advantage of the drop-off in pace of the Red Bull in recent races.
He heads into Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix still 59 points behind, meaning he needs to outscore the Dutchman by an average of nine points a race in the remaining seven grands prix this season.
His McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri has been in better form of late, winning in Baku last time out as Norris battled back from Q1 elimination to finish fourth, a place ahead of Verstappen and with a point for the fastest lap.
That result for McLaren at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix means it leads the constructors' standings and Norris has, on more than one occasion, highlighted Ferrari as its main competitor in that particular championship.
