Lando Norris is one of the proper names of F1 of the present… and also of the future. The Englishman, in the ranks of McLaren, is standing out on his own merits with the driving of someone who seems to have been competing for a long time and with more years behind him than he actually has. And that has amazed even his own bosses.
Because Zak Brown, in statements collected in ‘Motor.es’, has spoken about how that time, always important for everyone, was when Lando found himself on the track with a veteran. With all a champion.
Yes, from the first time Lando had in front of him Fernando Alonso. Is a very good yardstick the Asturian pilot, competitive but neat in his actions as well as respectful of his rivals.
Before him, one day he had to spend watching the duels between McLaren and Alpine, Norris pulled out license plate for the Woking Brand Chiefs.
“When he faced Fernando Alonso for the first time he was like another day at the office,” says Zak Brown.
And he argues: “That calm, that coldness… It’s the reason he’s so consistent.”
“If we give you a car He’s going to be world champion.” sentence the boss of McLaren.
