- What's up, British GQ.
I'm Lando Norris
and today I'm going undercover on the internet.
It's actually me.

Reddit.
Why do F1 drivers pull away
from the slip stream towards the end
of the corner and then come back into the slip stream?
It's like they're setting up a dive bomb
with they're obviously not since they're far back.
Maybe it's we're getting cool air for the engine.
Always a good question.
So this is mainly for the reason
of being able to judge exactly where you are.
If you kind of stay too directly behind
I lose my exact judgment of where I am on the track.

Hi, as part of my school's year long research project
I have chosen a question.
To what extent have improvements
in safety hindered or enhanced the sport of Formula 1?
Fan opinion is essential aspect of my research
and I would appreciate you could fill out the survey below.
Well, I won't fill it out. I'll just answer it.
Anything that is there to protect my life
I am grateful for.
When you see what could have happened
in several crashes over the past few years
the improvements of safety have only enhanced Formula 1.
Let's check Twitter.
We've seen many, many strange items of F1 memorabilia
in our time, but this is the strangest one yet.
Now we wanna know what does Landon Norris smell
like?
Well, I'm not actually on Twitter anymore.
This helps a reason to stay away.
I use Louis Vuitton L'Immensite or Dior Sauvage.
I hope most of the time I'm gonna smell like that, but
after a long day of racing, often it can get slightly worse.

From Rick Norris F1.
I dunno how other people understand Team radios.
It's like Lando, can you update me
on the weather Muffling Angry muffling.
More muffling copy.
Like what?
And my dad will understand it.
Every word.
It is true.
So I am with you with on that one.
But sometimes people can understand the muffle.
If I play to them, they speak muffle language.
Well done.

Now onto Quora.
It's me for real.
Seriously, what is Landon Norris's driving style?
Yeah, I don't really know.
Smooth, fast.
I just drive how I feel like I drive.

There was actually a video of me.
It was in the Austrian Grand Prix where
I was getting extremely angry with the car.
Gave it the middle finger.
It was actually on live tv.
I didn't know I was on live TV.
Would Lando Norris beat Lewis Hamilton, if they were
in the same team, that's a tough question.
I've gotta say yes.
By no means you gonna be easy.
If you wanna do well
you gotta believe you're better than the rest.
Do F1 drivers like Lando Norris and Max Verstappen
stop and still continue college as a Formula One driver?
Absolutely not.
I left school when I was 16.
My focus had to shift towards concentrating fully on racing.
No driver on the grid does probably any sort of schooling
when they become Formula One drivers.
Next, Wikipedia.
After initially developing an interest in motorcycle racing
Norris's attention switched to four wheels
after his father took him and his brother to watch a round
of super one national car championships
as a local car track.
That is completely true.
It's a longer journey.
I started on horse riding, so I started on four legs
but then I moved to quad biking.
I was a big fan then I really got into motocross.
But the changing moment was when I went to go
and watch the British Championships at Clay Pigeon
which was my local car track in Yeoval.
But that changed me the following year.
He won a CIK-FIA KF four championship with Ricky Flynn
Motorsport making him the youngest carding world
champion, hell yeah, I did.
I was 14 growing up against people
A lot older, much bigger.
And there's the picture
of me actually winning and I'm absolutely tiny.
And to be the youngest ever world champion as well was just
like an extra bonus, which was pretty, pretty awesome.
At the Styrian Grand Prix, Norris qualified sixth
but was given a three place great penalty
for overtaking on the yellow flags.
He passed three cars
in the final two laps of the race to finish.
Fifth and what he described us
one of the best races of his career.
That was true.
Maybe it was a second race back after COVID or something.
So a bit rusty.
You know, I got the grid penalty
which I didn't think really hurt me
'cuz I was racing much quicker cars
at that point to kind of come back
into racing after Covid and have these two weekends.
It was pretty awesome.
All right, let's see.
Some YouTube comments.
Big props to Lando for being transparent
about the help of professional psychology.
I dunno why more people don't acknowledge it
especially in sport.
It's as important as going to the gym to train your body.
That's true.
Thank you.
Thankfully, more and more people are opening
up about it and speaking out about it.
I thought it was a bigger benefit to myself
and to help other people by saying what I've said,
next.
How many other talents do you have
that you haven't told us about?
You are amazing.
Oh, thanks.
I mean, I wouldn't say I'm very talented
in anything else in life, apart from driving.
I'm thankful that I found driving.
I think I'm good at photography.
I can take cool pictures.
Yeah, that's about it.
Replied.
Instagram.
Finally
Singapore Ricard.
This is the post for myself.
27 Race wins between us after today.
Chloe Tramos said
Where do you most want to win your first Grand Prix?
Easy, Silverstone home Grand Prix, home race
for myself from McLaren British fans.
No other place
in the world that I'd wanna win more than in my home crowd.
Next one.

What's that huge camera rig for?
You being 3D modeled for something?
I think it was something like that.
I think this is
for the F1 2022 game or 23, whatever it's gonna be.

Okay.
That's it.
