Lando Norris

It was another tough weekend for McLaren at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris finishing in P15 and P17 respectively.

"The team told me not to make it too hard for him so, in the end, I let him go. Nothing new, I would say, just confirmation of what we know we have, what we struggle with." Williams' Logan Sargeant separated the two in 16th.

"It would be different if I was fighting for points, but 16th and 17th…” Lando Norris has told Oscar Piastri it will not be so easy next time.

“The team told me not to make it too hard for him, so in the end I let him go. We’re not quick, that’s the honest answer. I let him have a chance of getting past the Williams, which he did Piastri qualifying eighth had raised expectations of the team collecting its first points. It’s just the field is tighter. I probably could have got the Williams – I think I would have got the Williams myself.

It was a qualifying tale of two halves for McLaren, whilst Oscar Piastri shone and qualified P9, Lando Norris misjudged a corner entry in qualifying and hit the ...

“I don’t think many things will change, we’ll do what we can to make some improvements. However, even though they are currently 10th in the constructor’s standings, Lando is adamant it isn’t as bad as it looks 😬 We’re not quick, that’s the honest answer, it’s just closer than ever, so it makes it more punishing when things aren’t going our way.”

Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton have been urged to change teams in a major F1 shake-up.

In Jeddah, Toto Wolff accepted Hamilton could leave the construction if they were unable to give him a car capable of winning. For example, McLaren don’t finish in the top four of the constructors’ championship two years in a row, is there an option for Lando to look elsewhere? A new Express Sport poll put Norris as the clear favourite to replace the seven-time champion.

A sad statistic involving Lando Norris after the conclusion of the Saudi Arabian GP has left fans fuming with Zak Brown and team McLaren.

Do you think the upgrades ahead of the race in Baku will prove worth their wait? Everyone is talking about the least Aston have made and how Merc have fallen back, but people seem to be giving McLaren a pass for the absolute dogshit car because they’ve said it’ll get better at Baku.

Lando Norris talks about a sacrifice he had to make on his way to making it to the pinnacle of motorsports with McLaren in 2019.

At the start of the session, Daley presents Norris with a At the Bahrain GP, he finished in 17th and it was followed by another P17 finish in Jeddah. One of the things that Norris gave up as a child, was Capri Sun. Over the winter break, teams like Aston Martin have made bigger strides than them, and Norris’ start to the 2023 season has been difficult. In the Made with Love podcast hosted by Olympic diving champion Tom Daley, Norris speaks about how much he enjoyed having Capri Sun during his karting days. Lando Norris, like many, has taken a similar path to F1 and sacrificed a lot on the way.

Lando Norris is the F1 star driver right now outside of the top seats, but the generosity which he showed in Jeddah is a dangerous game.

His best F1 season yet in F1 2021 left many puzzled at Red Bull’s decision not to give him a second chance in their line-up, but with the 2022 AlphaTauri challenger not of the same level to allow Gasly to excel, those Red Bull links quickly faded. We may never know, but that did not really matter for Norris, who is seen as the potential World Champion outside of the leading seats; Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes all teams Norris has been linked with joining. Piastri arguably was the McLaren driver who shone in Jeddah, a multi-time champ in the junior series who said that he is continuing to gain confidence at the wheel of the MCL60, and that was very evident from his on-track display. Pierre Gasly was an example. The problem is, McLaren at the moment even on a clean day seem like a team only perhaps capable of nicking a point or two, and this means that Norris has to remain selfish and ruthless out there on the track now that it is much harder to prove to the top teams what he is capable of. McLaren have endured a torrid start to the season, Piastri’s qualifying performance in Jeddah a rare positive as he made it through to Q3 for the first time in his career, while Norris hit the wall in Q1 and sealed his elimination, already an uncharacteristic error from the Brit.

Formula One star Lando Norris was robbed while leaving Wembley Stadium's VIP car park, a court has heard.

“When suspect 1 had his arm around my neck the suspect manages to get the watch off my left wrist." “When suspect one had his arm around my neck the suspect manages to get the watch off my left wrist." Lando then recalled the first suspect telling the second to "grab the watch", adding: “Suspect 2 struggled to get the watch for a while however they used force to pull the watch off leaving scratches on my arm.

In addition to his ongoing struggles with the Woking-based squad, Lando Norris mentions a special bond with the $367 million Mclaren facility.

As the season progressed, things became more evident regarding the causes of Mclaren’s poor performance. Lando Norris, who is currently in the fifth year of his contract with McLaren, extended his agreement last year, which sees him stay with the Woking-based team through the end of 2025. And amidst the continued struggle, the 23-year-old Briton has sustained his commitment to the team despite the ongoing difficulties since the Briton has a special connection with the $367 million McLaren F1 facility.

Lando Norris has revealed that he isn't content with fighting in the midfield following a difficult start to the 2023 Formula 1 season.

Team is my motivation. “I’m very much a team player. “At times you’ve got to be satisfied with it and happy with it but I know if I want to win a race in 2024, 2025, the best thing is to work in harmony as a team as much as you can.

Lando Norris talks about the difficulties of weight training and importance of having a strong neck for 'skinny' F1 drivers like him.

As he revealed during his conversation with Daley, the neck of an F1 driver is one of the only things that isn’t supported by anything in the car, so it is essential for them to build it strongly. Norris went on to say that when his car turns left or right at a high speed, he finds it extremely uncomfortable if he has to turn his head. As Norris said in the Made with Love podcast with Olympic Champion Tom Daley, drivers need to weigh a minimum of 80kgs along with the seat in order to compete in F1. Norris finished 17th in the first two races this year, which is disastrous for his ambitions. In every form of motorsport on his way to F1, Norris said he was playing ‘catch up’ because of his physical inferiority. A driver competing at the highest level also needs to have unprecedented levels of fitness, and McLaren driver Lando Norris reveals the scary aspect of it.

Despite poor performances, the 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix gave rise to an ego war between veteran Lando Norris and rookie Oscar Piastri.

The British driver said that it was Piastri’s front wing that ruined the race for him. He said the front wing damage ruined everything. The Briton had never had such a dismal start to his season ever before. He crossed the chequered flag in P15, and while he went up on the pack, he overtook his teammate. But he let his teammate through because the rookie didn’t make things difficult for him. Being a rookie, Piastri finished the race ahead of his veteran teammate.
