It was clear before the start of the season that this year's McLaren would be very strong. So strong that this time they could win not only the constructors' but also the individual championship title.
Based on this knowledge, most fans, and even experts, have generally declared Lando Norris the favorite. In comparison, the young Briton only suffers, while his younger teammate delivers victories with such cool confidence that even Max Verstappen is surprised. Norris knows what causes...
“Maybe I put too much pressure on myself. It’s not because I’m in contention for the championship, that would be either way. It’s because I want to be good, and very, very good! I want to get the pole, I want to win races, I want to be perfect. And I make mistakes because I want to be perfect, but maybe I should accept the idea that nobody can be perfect.
I think I should calm down, trust myself more, my pace, because I know that mine is the best. I am quite sure that I can win all the races if I perform better in qualifying than I have done so far. Easy to say, but hard to do, but I still have to do it: go out on the track and do a better job than I have done so far. I will work on that!” - promised Norris.
