168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris has opened up about his evolvinꦰg mind-set and self-belief in Formula 1.

Martin Brundle has been among the F1 observers to encourage Norris not to 🎉be so self-critical of his performances.

Last year, the driver helped McLaren to the constructors’ championship, won his first gra🐎nds prix and ran Max Verstappen close in the drivers’ 🃏standings.

It finally gave Norris belief that🐠 he could even♉tually dream of more.

“It was a noticeable point for me,” he said. “It is something I h🃏ave struggled with in racing, and being in Formula 1.

“Every driver is different. Plenty of drivers say ‘I am going to do it this year! I am goi⛎ng to be the boss꧙!’

“Everyone has their own way of saying things🌃 to themsel🥃ves, and saying stuff to the media.

“I say 💜ꦑwhat I believe in. Sometimes it’s a high expectation, sometimes it’s not, but it’s always the truth.

“If I think we’re not going t🧸o do well? It’s because I♎ genuinely think we’re not going to do well.

“It’s nice when I proꦬve myself wrong. When I say that, then we have a good wꩵeekend? Wonderful.

“There are also times when I s🐼ay ‘we will be good this week💦end’ but we struggle.

“I am always honest. Through last year, I had good moments - not just after a good race or a win - butও sometimes after a tough race where Max got the better of me, where I [thought] ‘I can do🌟 this, I can race him, I can fight at the front’."

Lando Norris opens up about F1 2025 mind-set

Nor⛦ris said: “I was al✃ways the kid who thought ‘I want to be in F1, to race these guys, to be up there…’

“I have always thought like that.

“When you’re in F1, you’ve got to race against Lewis, Fernando, then Max. I always have to experience something to make myself b🦂elieve it.

“Last year I exper♕ienced winning races and fought the guy🏅s who I thought ‘I wonder how I'd do against them’.

“I can’t answer something until I know it. Maybe that’s not always the cor🐈rect mentality to have.

“But that’s me! That’s work I work! Some things aren’t great, so💧me are great, it’s what makes me me. It makes me very good i♏n certain areas.

“Last year was the moment where I thought ‘I♛ can do it’.

“I feel like I can compete against these guys, be at th🧸e top,ꦉ I can fight.”

McLaren overtook Red Bull as F1’s fastest 👍car at the midway point of 2024.

Norris and Oscar Piaꦅstri did enough to claim the constructors’ but will both 💎dream of the drivers’ title in the upcoming 2025 campaign.

Key to overthrowing Verstappen will be starting more competitively than they managed a ye꧅ar ago.
