Lando Norris and his race engineer, Will Joseph, appeared on The Race's Formula 1 podcast, where they took turns explaining their working relationship. Joseph spoke about his and Norris' work relationship, saying, "Our relationship is more about communication on track. It's about when we're outside making the decisions."
Norris's emotions play a part
He admitted that part of it was how Norris was feeling during the session.
"It's about judging Lando's mood, how we're going to address that, and how we're going to combat those through the weekend."
When discussing how quickly Norris always has to be going, he said, "No, you definitely never stop, and especially this year, the most important year, there's probably more that we're learning now than almost in the past at times."
"There are always things you're learning, always things you're discovering, you're trying to combat and overcome or within a matter of a session or a weekend."
Continuing on about his relationship with his race engineer, he said, "Like Will said, the communication is also something that has to do with strategy, to do with your approach to the weekend, and that changes every single time."
Norris added, "You always have to be ready for whatever comes at you, whatever I might be feeling on track, whether that's more comfortable or less comfortable."
