Stefano Domenicali gave Lando Norris a simple piece of advice.

      Stefano Domenicali, president and CEO of Formula 1, believes that Lando Norris, thanks to his personal qualities, will wear the title of world champion with dignity, but is ready to give the British McLaren driver one piece of advice.

      “Lando is very positive, he’s young and full of energy, and thanks to these qualities he stands out from others,” Domenicali said in an interview with Sky Sports. “Overall, I think a person like that should keep doing one thing — smile! I always told him this: ‘Keep smiling! You need that positive energy.’

      Sometimes such drivers are still very young, yet they do an incredibly good job and achieve success. For many people they become role models. In short, they must always remember that they have unique talents, and it’s no secret that I always told him that.”

      Last season, which ended with Norris becoming world champion, was uneven for him, and in the first half of the championship his teammate Oscar Piastri was leading, while Lando made mistakes — everyone remembers how, for example, the Canadian Grand Prix ended for him.

      In the second part of the season Max Verstappen improved significantly, becoming another title contender, however Norris managed to find the right mindset, and he was able to withstand the pressure, which reached peak levels by the end of the championship.

      Lando dealt with all the difficulties and, having won the title, summed up his work like this: “Psychologically, it helped me to better understand myself, to better understand everything at the championship level. That is the level I should be at. And yes, I was definitely able to turn difficulties into my strength.”
