Quotes by 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.

The 'Pro-Sim' is pretty much the best simulator you can buy, because of the steering motor and the pedals. The force feedback we get through the steering is pretty much exactly the same as what we get in the actual car in terms of how heavy it is.

I did suffer a lot since karting, with my size and everything, not really having a clue what to do when I started karting. So I suffered in every category: F4, F3, F2. Not so much F2 but I've had to kind of play catch-up quite a bit and in some ways, F1 was a bit nicer with power steering.

Read quote -
It's what counts, isn't it, on the Sunday, rather than pre-season testing. If you lock up, you do a little mistake, it's nothing, but if you do it on Sunday, you lose a place or you have to box for a flat spot or something like that. It's a much bigger problem.
Read quote -
How you go about testing is just very different to just being in the situation of qualifying, having to go out, having to nail the lap.
Read quote -
I will be unhappy if I know I have not accomplished something I should have done that was possible.
Read quote -
Confidence is always a good thing to have going into the weekend. Especially where it's quite difficult to put the lap together.
Read quote -
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.
Read quote -
I think as long as I do a good job and put in all my effort to proving that I'm worth it, then everything should be fine.
