Norris preoccupied with his image: "I don't always try to be funny"
- GPblog.com
Lando Norris has made himself a beloved driver in just one year. His performance on the track is good, his humour is appreciated and he is also entertaining to watch online. However, he also has to watch out that his image doesn't become too 'funny', because he has the feeling that in 2019 he sometimes was a bit like that.
Have fun
At Motorsport.com Norris says: "I've been almost been too relaxed and had too much fun". Will he stay that way at the start of the new season? "Difficult to say," said the driver. He does say he's not trying to be funny all the time, it's just the timing and his personality.
"I'm not going to change; I'm not going to try and be someone I'm not, but I just need to make sure I just say the right things at the right time and not come across basically as someone who's just trying to be be jokey and not taking things seriously." So Norris is busy with his image and he also says he should just stay himself and focussed when needed.
"I just need to be the same me - I can still make jokes and stuff," says Norris. "But I just need to make sure I'm seen as the guy who's focusing and every now and then makes jokes instead of is always joking and sometimes looks like he's focusing. That's all."
