Lando Norris

“F2 cars have downforce; they're quick. But it's difficult for your brain and eyes to keep up with everything that's going on once you're in an F1 car. You get used to it and you learn to stay calm, because if you react too quickly the opposite will happen. Being more relaxed is when it becomes more natural and controlled.”

“I guess for every driver the aim is to beat their teammate.”

“Getting in and out of the car with the halo takes a bit of experience. I struggled initially, but after a few trial runs I was fine.”

“Rule number one is: Beat your team-mate.”

“I think Weetabix and full-fat milk is what it is all about.”

“The Pirellis you can push for a couple of laps and then you've got to start saving. It's not easy.”

“In karting, you turn up and drive, look at the data and go home. But I like doing more, learning about the engines and how to make them go even better.”

“Of course it would be nice for everybody and myself if we could win but we can still have a personal or a team win if we achieve a target that is effectively a win for us.”

“I'm a fighter, I'm a winner, and I'm not interested in just battling my team-mate for the back of the grid.”

“I used to watch some F1 races but I was never straightaway thinking 'that is what I want to do.'”

“No driver is perfect.”

“My favourite car I drove in the 'shoot out' at Silverstone was the 2016 Mercedes DTM car. I loved every moment in it, the downforce being particularly surprising.”

“It seems like F1 is kind of going down that route, opening it up more to the public and letting them know what is going on, what you do, instead of just driving and going home.”

“I haven't gone out of my way to seek advice from people I don't know.”

“It's just trying to do the best job I can in these opportunities that I get to show what I can do, be consistent, have good feedback, be fast, at the same time not make mistakes.”

“Having the support from everyone, the bosses, whoever within the team, definitely makes it much easier for me as a driver.”

“McLaren were one of the first teams I liked and supported.”

“Every driver is different, so I just hope whatever I do is going to be good enough, because it's not that I just want to be with McLaren. I want to win with McLaren.”

“I tend not to really think about what other people say. I'd rather just try and focus on what I'm doing, try and win basically.”

“In testing, you make a mistake, you just say 'OK we'll have another go' instead of it being the only chance you get.”
