Lando Norris Quotes - BrainyQuote

British - Driver Born: November 13, 1999

I saw MotoGP on TV first, before I saw F1 and other types of car racing. It's what I got more into. It was cool, there was good, exciting racing.

Good Cool Car Racing

I liked watching Rossi, his style, his colours and everything. He was someone I looked up to and until now he is still my only hero. He is the king of motorbikes and most people like Rossi mainly because he comes across as a pretty fun and good character. He is cool and has a good style and look.

Good Hero Cool Character

I had a much better view with the halo than I expected.

View Better Halo Than

I don't like going to the gym. My biggest focus is the neck and endurance. I wear this 'Fifty Shades of Grey' harness, with a resistance trainer pulling against it.

Focus Gym Wear Grey

I tend not to really think about what other people say. I'd rather just try and focus on what I'm doing, try and win basically.

People Focus Win Think

I know a lot of people say they always believed they could get into F1, but I didn't quite believe that, certainly not when I was 7 and maybe not until I was 14. It was always so far away.

People Believe Far Away Know

I've missed out on a lot of things, going out with friends.

Friends Things Going Missed

I don't know who I would have been if I never watched MotoGP.

Never Know Who Been

In the ideal world, if I was perfect, I'd be able to beat every teammate that I have, in every race.

World Perfect Race Beat

I think beating myself up sometimes and knowing I am not happy when I do it makes me work harder to do a good job.

Work Myself Good Me

I probably work harder, putting in a lot of time and effort, than a lot of drivers because all I think about, and all I do, is to do with racing, trying to make myself a better driver.

Work Myself Time Effort

It's just trying to do the best job I can in these opportunities that I get to show what I can do, be consistent, have good feedback, be fast, at the same time not make mistakes.

Best Good Time Job

There's so many bits on a car these days it's hard to know where everything is. You have a bit of an idea but if you are behind someone and you suddenly change direction it's hard to know exactly where the car is.

Change Car You Someone

Confidence is always a good thing to have going into the weekend. Especially where it's quite difficult to put the lap together.

Good Confidence Together Weekend

Of course it would be nice for everybody and myself if we could win but we can still have a personal or a team win if we achieve a target that is effectively a win for us.

Myself Win Team Nice

It's what counts, isn't it, on the Sunday, rather than pre-season testing. If you lock up, you do a little mistake, it's nothing, but if you do it on Sunday, you lose a place or you have to box for a flat spot or something like that. It's a much bigger problem.

You Mistake Lose Place

How you go about testing is just very different to just being in the situation of qualifying, having to go out, having to nail the lap.

You Go Situation Being

In testing, you make a mistake, you just say 'OK we'll have another go' instead of it being the only chance you get.

You Mistake Chance Go

Having the support from everyone, the bosses, whoever within the team, definitely makes it much easier for me as a driver.

Me Support Team Everyone

It's not like I'm nervous of people seeing what I can or can't do on camera or on TV or anything, or what my engineers think.

People Think Camera I Can

I need to do well and show I'm a worthy driver in F1.

Need Well Show Driver

I guess for every driver the aim is to beat their teammate.

Aim Beat Driver Guess

There's definitely going to be things that I'm not very good at, things I can improve.

Good I Can Things Going

I had to drive with a roof in LMP2, and I managed to get used to that quite quickly - although it's still not a Halo, it's still different to what I'm used to.

Drive Get Different Roof

I started off riding motorbikes and at that point my hero was Valentino Rossi.

Hero Riding Point Started

I used to watch some F1 races but I was never straightaway thinking 'that is what I want to do.'

Thinking Never Want Some
