In karting, in the European races, you have the cameras and the film crews and you do interviews. At around 13 I'd already started doing bit of media and it just increases more and more with every level you take, especially when you get into cars - and when you hit F1 it's an even higher step up. It's something you get used to over time.
Quote by -Lando Norris
A team like McLaren doesn't want to keep changing drivers at a time when they're developing the car. They want consistency.
Quote by -Lando Norris
As a British driver, you get compared to Lewis and I get that. But when he came to McLaren, they were doing well and had a championship-winning car. I'm in a very different situation so I don't compare myself to his stats.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I want to be part of that long list who have achieved great things with McLaren, won races and championships.
Quote by -Lando Norris
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.
Quote by -Lando Norris
My dad kind of liked racing and motorsports, but wasn't a big fan, it wasn't like he watched every race or whatever.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I think the F2 tyres are probably one of the hardest things to adapt to, harder than the Formula One Pirellis were to get used to.
Quote by -Lando Norris
Growing up I've watched Lewis and aspired to have some of his attributes, mainly his speed. His raw pace is probably the best of everyone on the whole grid, so there are bits you want from different drivers.
Quote by -Lando Norris
The racing is quite boring, sometimes. It's hard to see how it pulls in fans.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I think sim racing helps. I have improved in areas and do it whenever I need to improve. You don't feel G-force and those things are probably the biggest things, that and the fear factor which you feel when you drive. Therefore, when I go on to the track I'm better.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I raced with my brother from when I started to 2014 when I finished karting.
Quote by -Lando Norris
For my career, I wouldn't go racing if I didn't enjoy it. I still need to have my say, and not just get put with a team and get told to deal with it.
Quote by -Lando Norris
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.
Quote by -Lando Norris
If I want to do well in racing I need to be more focused so I stopped going to school. If I wasn't a very good driver it would not be a wise decision, but it gives me an advantage over my competitors.
Quote by -Lando Norris
There are going to be things I'm not going to be great at, times when I make mistakes, 100%.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I do things I love doing. Sometimes that is maybe going out to have a drink with friends, going out partying or whatever.
Quote by -Lando Norris
If I make a mistake and finish 10th when we should have finished ninth, then I will be unhappy.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I just get annoyed at myself. A lot of swearing goes on generally when I am driving.
Quote by -Lando Norris
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.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I'm definitely more one of the drivers who would want to do Daytona, Le Mans, and the Indy 500.
Quote by -Lando Norris
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.
Quote by -Lando Norris
It's not like I'm nervous of people seeing what I can or can't do on camera or on TV or anything, or what my engineers think.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I saw MotoGP on TV first, before I saw F1 and other types of car racing. It's what I got more into. It was cool, there was good, exciting racing.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I don't like going to the gym. My biggest focus is the neck and endurance. I wear this 'Fifty Shades of Grey' harness, with a resistance trainer pulling against it.
Quote by -Lando Norris
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.
Quote by -Lando Norris
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.
Quote by -Lando Norris
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.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I like to paint my own helmets. I design my own suit and boots, I like being unique in that way.
Quote by -Lando Norris
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.
Quote by -Lando Norris
In testing, you make a mistake, you just say 'OK we'll have another go' instead of it being the only chance you get.
Quote by -Lando Norris
There's so many bits on a car these days it's hard to know where everything is. You have a bit of an idea but if you are behind someone and you suddenly change direction it's hard to know exactly where the car is.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I know a lot of people say they always believed they could get into F1, but I didn't quite believe that, certainly not when I was 7 and maybe not until I was 14. It was always so far away.
Quote by -Lando Norris
There's definitely going to be things that I'm not very good at, things I can improve.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I used to watch MotoGP quite a bit, I liked MotoGP. I had a motorbike before I had a go-kart and before I had a motorbike I had a quad bike but I was too dangerous, and before I did quad biking I did horse riding, so it's been a long journey.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I kind of look up to Lewis, not as a hero, but as a very good driver who is very fast. Everyone has to admire his pace, especially in qualifying. He is a driver I support, in terms of him being British, and I want him to win, but he isn't an idol to me.
