I turned away from bikes when I got a bambino kart for my seventh birthday and started doing some karting, just around some cones at home, but I didn't think at that point I knew I wanted to go into F1, it was more just for fun.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I started off riding motorbikes and at that point my hero was Valentino Rossi.
Quote by -Lando Norris
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.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I started off with sim driving, playing 'Gran Turismo,' and my Dad had some sort of Logitech steering wheel with pedals for the PlayStation 2.
Quote by -Lando Norris
The biggest difference in the wet between F2 and F1 is that there's so much more power in F1 as being on the throttle earlier has a bigger advantage.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I've been away since I was pretty much eight, traveling to the car tracks, and then going to Europe and traveling more.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I used to watch some F1 races but I was never straightaway thinking 'that is what I want to do.'
Quote by -Lando Norris
F2's much harder physically on the arms and almost on the whole body than F1 is.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I definitely wasn't anything special when I first started but I think I adapted quite quickly into racing and it became a bit better slowly. All of cadets, the first four years of karting, I only won one proper race, one! Which was the British Open Championship at PFI and I started 21st and I won.
Quote by -Lando Norris
Sometimes I'm a bit under-aggressive and sometimes a bit over. But I think it's good to have both.
Quote by -Lando Norris
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.
Quote by -Lando Norris
In the ideal world, if I was perfect, I'd be able to beat every teammate that I have, in every race.
Quote by -Lando Norris
You can only get to a certain point when you feel confident with the simulator and it always changes when you get to the track and you actually drive it for real for the first time.
Quote by -Lando Norris
The McLaren prizes can only help me in my quest to ultimately reach Formula One.
Quote by -Lando Norris
The first time I used a simulator was in 2014 when I was competing in the Ginetta Junior Championship.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I left school to concentrate on racing. It was a family decision between my mum, dad and myself.
Quote by -Lando Norris
The Pirellis you can push for a couple of laps and then you've got to start saving. It's not easy.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I am sure there's going to be times when I do things wrong that no one's going to like and everyone's going to think I'm terrible and rubbish but I know I'm going to go through those times, and it's just about understanding that that's going to happen.
Quote by -Lando Norris
That's one of the biggest things. Never being home, always traveling, having different interests and focusing on different things, just the time aspect of going back home and seeing them, you don't have that at all. It was a big sacrifice but, at the end of the day, it was worth it.
Quote 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.
Quote by -Lando Norris
If McLaren give me a car, that's fine, but I don't tend to buy fancy stuff anyway or super-nice clothes.
Quote by -Lando Norris
On the RFactor model that comes with the 'Pro-Sim,' everything is balanced and measured. If you go up on the rear ride height, for example, it changes the airflow and the downforce of the car. You learn by trying different things, which gives you a better idea when you're on a race weekend.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I am sure as everyone knows that I am not the happiest if I don't do a good job in qualifying or the race.
Quote by -Lando Norris
Every time I get in the McLaren I feel more comfortable, my confidence increases and I feel more at home with the team.
Quote by -Lando Norris
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.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I had to drive with a roof in LMP2, and I managed to get used to that quite quickly - although it's still not a Halo, it's still different to what I'm used to.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I liked watching Rossi, his style, his colours and everything. He was someone I looked up to and until now he is still my only hero. He is the king of motorbikes and most people like Rossi mainly because he comes across as a pretty fun and good character. He is cool and has a good style and look.
Quote by -Lando Norris
Joining McLaren didn't add a lot of pressure but of course you want to make sure you can impress them.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I'm sure like everyone else I'm not always the happiest if I don't do a good job in quali or the race or whatever, so I think beating myself up sometimes makes me work harder.
Quote by -Lando Norris
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.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I'm loving my role as a McLaren Young Driver, spending time in the simulator at the McLaren Technology Centre and attending some Grands Prix with the team.
Quote by -Lando Norris
On the sim at home, you can change downforce levels, roll bars, springs, ride heights - you can try all these different things.
Quote by -Lando Norris
I think beating myself up sometimes and knowing I am not happy when I do it makes me work harder to do a good job.
Quote by -Lando Norris
Having the support from everyone, the bosses, whoever within the team, definitely makes it much easier for me as a driver.
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.
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
There's definitely going to be things that I'm not very good at, things I can improve.
