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.

Lando Norris

I focus on my own job.

I kind of look up to Lewis, not as a hero, but as a very good driver who is very fast. Everyone has to admire his pace, especially in qualifying. He is a driver I support, in terms of him being British, and I want him to win, but he isn't an idol to me.

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

In karting, in the European races, you have the cameras and the film crews and you do interviews. At around 13 I'd already started doing bit of media and it just increases more and more with every level you take, especially when you get into cars - and when you hit F1 it's an even higher step up. It's something you get used to over time.

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

Lando Norris

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

I definitely wasn't anything special when I first started but I think I adapted quite quickly into racing and it became a bit better slowly. All of cadets, the first four years of karting, I only won one proper race, one! Which was the British Open Championship at PFI and I started 21st and I won.

I like to paint my own helmets. I design my own suit and boots, I like being unique in that way.

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.

Lando Norris

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Lando Norris

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.
