🚨 | Lando Norris had little sympathy for Russell’s struggles in the grid’s fastest car:
"I've had to change my driving style every single year of my life. I guess for him it's worked for 20 years, for me it's not worked."
"If you’re not ready to adapt to a different car, then you’re not at a good enough level."
lando was asked about george russell having to change his driving style to suit the mercedes:
"i mean, i've had to change my driving style every single year of my life. i guess for him [george] it's worked for 20 years, for me it's not worked. my driving style worked back in 2018 when i did my test year. that's probably about it. ever since then i've had to change.
i think the more experience you have in formula 1, the better equipped you should be. if you're not ready to adapt to a different car then you're not at a good enough level. it's our job, it's what we've got paid millions to do. it's to drive any car you get given, whether it's a good one, a bad one, an easy one or a hard one. you have to do it.
every single race i come into at the minute, i feel like i have to completely forget the last weekend and learn how to drive a new car, because that's how it is for us. every driver is different. but for me, my whole career in F1 has been about how i can change my driving style every season."
@noorstappen it’s the same thing without the driver’s actions and performance the team would also be different in how it developments and changes🤷🏻♀️ if u replace the drivers you’ll get different outcomes if u replace the mechanics you’ll also get different outcomes they both matter and affects
