The 2021 World Cup saw the new line-up of the McLaren, consisting of Lando Norris and from the newly acquired Daniel Ricciardo. In addition to an excellent understanding on the track, translated with the historic double obtained at Monza, the two drivers also established themselves at the top of the ranking of the most close-knit teammates of the entire Circus, thanks to a personality often characterized by jokes and smiles. An attitude, on the part of both, which has almost made us forget the problems encountered by Norris at the beginning of his career in Formula 1, recently admitted by the English driver himself: in this case, the 22-year-old from Bristol has in fact confessed to having encountered major difficulty in believing in oneself, as well as having gone through periods of depression at the end of weekends that ended with negative results.
Obstacles that Norris has faced and fought, so much so that the number 4 of McLaren wanted to externalize them to the microphones of racingnews365.com with a noble purpose: “First of all – he has declared – I am very happy to see more people talking about it and realizing this it will only benefit them and others. I don’t think there is anything negative in doing it, quite the contrary. It will only help you get better. On top of that, if you have a certain following, every time you say it you will only be able to help other people who are struggling with their problems as well. I am very happy and proud to be part of that group of people who have accepted their difficulties and who have agreed to talk about them “.
Another reason that prompted Norris to ‘open up’ was the support of his fans, real inspirers for the actions subsequently undertaken by the British: “One of the biggest incentives that led me to open up came from my fans – he added – when I mentioned my problems to them the first few times, even before publicly externalizing them, some told me how much this had helped them, with all the benefits they were experiencing. Over time, I realized that the impact I can have on those hundreds or thousands of people is enormous. So when I started getting messages reading about helping them feel so much better, as well as their friends, or their family, it was pretty amazing to see how much you can help other people. So the more I saw this, the more I realized the effect I could have, magnified by the role I play in Formula 1. At that point I thought it was better to talk about it more and around the world. – he concluded – to try to help as many people as possible“.
