Why McLaren’s "joker" doesn’t need to change much
McLaren's young prodigy was an impressive rookie in 2019, but didn't win universal admiration for his laidback attitude and sense of humour. This year, Lando Norris promises to tone down the larking about and show what he's really made of. He's even eschewed the trappings of Monaco and moved closer to the team’s Woking HQ. Look out for him locally - he still doesn’t mind the attention...
Q: You said you were going to be a bit less jokey as we go into 2020. How is your personality going to change and how is that going to affect your racing going into the new season?
Lando Norris: It won't affect my personality at all. I'll still be who I am. I'll still have fun, make jokes and do what I do. But there's times when things can get portrayed quite differently from what I know.
