"Standing outside the McLaren motorhome in the paddock for the Qatar Grand Prix as a warm desert breeze stirs the air, Lando Norris cuts a figure entirely at ease even in the centre of the maelstrom of an increasingly tense fight to claim his first Formula One world championship. While dozens of photographers jostle for space, the mic boom of the Netflix Drive to Survive series swaying over them, Norris has an air of assuredness as he speaks to the clacking of shutters"
"He is fiercely self-critical, but the British driver exudes only a steely determination allied to an almost disconcerting, quiet confidence, even after the disappointment of being disqualified from second place at the last round in Las Vegas. People can believe whatever they want but deep down I know I've just been doing a very good job, he said. I've been doing a better job than everyone else. I'm very happy with that. I just need to continue to do it."
Lando Norris stands calm and self-assured amid intense attention in the Qatar paddock, displaying steely determination and quiet confidence despite recent disappointment. He leads Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen by 24 points with 58 available points across two events in Doha and Abu Dhabi, including a sprint race, and can secure the championship by outscoring both rivals by two points or by one point with a race win. He prefers to aim for victory rather than settle for conservative points. A strong late-season run reversed an earlier 34-point deficit after failing to finish because of an oil leak.
