Zak Brown believes that with Lando Norris he has a driver in house with whom he can compete for the Formula 1 world title at McLaren. Although the team still has a lot of work to do before that, the CEO sees that it is on the right track.
The 23-year-old Briton has been a regular at McLaren since 2019. He successively managed to finish 11th, ninth, sixth and seventh in the world championship. Next season, McLaren hopes to take another step with him. Norris' qualities will not be in doubt, Brown stressed.
"He knows how to get the best out of a race car and put the car to its limits," he told GQ Magazine. "He’s also able to very articulately convey what that car is doing, because he has such a good feel for it; his technical feedback is excellent."
Self-criticism is no stranger to Norris
Norris, meanwhile, is finding that he is getting more and more used to the pressure in the motorsport class. The driver tells the same medium that he tries to be as critical of himself as possible, because this way he can get the most out of himself.
"I think I’m a fair loser, but I’ve always been a guy who’s very harsh on myself. I’m very critical of my own performance. I always think, What could I have done better? And then, What could the team have done better?"
