Winter is beginning to come to an end, at least for Formula 1, as drivers begin to appear in factories or at team events. Today was Lando Norris’s turn at Woking, the team is very happy to have the young Briton back at the factory. Lando has commented that he really wants everything to get underway soon, as he says that no year is the same and he wants to know what this one holds for him. Also to start working with Daniel Ricciardo to join forces and help the team continue to improve. Norris is excited about the 2021 season and here are the six reasons for his enthusiasm. We will see what they are capable of at McLaren this year, as they have the difficult task of defending their third masterful place obtained last year. Norris is looking forward to getting to work with everyone on the team, collaborating and continuing to work to row together in the right direction. It seems that despite his good taste and love to renew the colors of his helmet this year it will not be so common.
Work with all team members
“What excites me the most is working with everyone in the team, whether on the track, at the McLaren Technology Center or remotely. From dismantling the car on race weekends to racking up miles in the simulator, I am looking forward to stay here and help the team where I can. “
Back to the car
“As expected, I’m really looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of an F1 car. I drove the MCL35M in the simulator, but I can’t give any clue as to what it’s like to drive this car. It seems like years have passed since the last race in Abu Dhabi. I can’t wait to get back to racing and push one of the fastest cars on the planet to the limit. “
Join forces with Daniel Ricciardo
“Next, I’d say we’ll both bond. Not because he’s fun to be with, but because I like to work on the focus of my teammates. Daniel has a lot of experience, I have said it on previous occasions, he has competed with great teams, he has achieved many podiums and he knows how to win great prizes. I’m curious to see how he drives a car and what his focus is. ”
The unknown
“Overall I am excited about the new challenges that come with each season, no two seasons are the same. I love the feeling of stepping into the unknown. That is part of what makes F1 so special. You don’t know what will happen in each race. Anything is possible and it’s about embracing what the season brings, new people, new relationships, new drivers to race against, new cars. “
New circuits
“There are some new additions to the F1 calendar this season, but I also hope to return to some of the countries we were unable to compete in last year, places like the USA, Japan and Singapore. They are some of my favorite places to goNot only because of the circuits we race on in those countries, but because of the great cultures we experience and, of course, the fans. I really hope we can see more fans on the track this season, we really miss them. “
Your creations and designs
“I love the creative side of what I do, designing new helmets and working with different designers. I will not do so many this year, there is a plan to make a handful of special and unique helmet designs. We are working on them right now, we have time to think. “
