I guess you see a lot of stuff on TV where team mates are laughing with each other and everything, but as soon as they go behind closed doors they, like, hate each other, that's all fake, but I think we're just good friends. We get along, we have fun.

I've been away since I was pretty much eight, traveling to the car tracks, and then going to Europe and traveling more, then having to do more things ; more meetings, more media days, and eventually move out to my own place. I've been away from my mum a lot, but she's always been there to support me.

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.

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

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.

wear grey gym focus

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.

win think focus people

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.

know far-away believe people

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

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

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

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.

Lando Norris

good myself me work

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.

Lando Norris

myself effort work time

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 job good time

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.

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

Lando Norris

good confidence weekend together

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.

win myself 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.

Lando Norris

place you problem mistake

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.

Lando Norris

being go you situation

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

Lando Norris

go you chance mistake

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