168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris has opened൲ up about his evolving mind-set and self-belief 🃏in Formula 1.

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

Last year, the driver helped McLaren to the constructors’ championship, ܫwon his first grands prix and ran Max Verstappen close in the drivers’ standings.

It finally gav🌱e Norris belief that he could eventually dream of more.

“It was a noticeable point for me,” he said. “It is something I have strugꦗgled 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 going to be the boss!’

“Everyone has their own way of sa🅷ying things to themselves, and saying stuff to the🍌 media.

“I say what I believe in. Some🍷times it’s a high expectation, sometimes it’s not, but it’s always the truth.

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

“It’s n𝐆ice when I prove myself wrong. When I say that, then we have a good weekend? Wonderful.

“There are also times when I say ‘we will be good this wee💙kendಌ’ but we struggle.

“I am aܫlways honest. Through last year, I had good moments - not just after a good race or a win - but 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

Norris s💛aid: “I was always 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 believe it.

“Last year I experienced winning races and f💃ought the ♔guys 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 correct mentality to have.

“But 🧔that’s me! That’s work I work! So🔴me things aren’t great, some are great, it’s what makes me me. It makes me very good in certain areas.

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

“I feel like I can compete against th﷽ese guys, be at the top, I can fight.”

McLaren overtook Red Bull as F1’s fastest car at t꧃he midway point of 2024.

Norris and Oscar Piastri did enou💜gh to claim the constructors’ but will both dream of the drivers’ title in the upcoming 2025 campaign.

Key to overthrow♐ing Verstappen will be starting more competitively than they managed a year ago.
