Lewis is one of the best drivers ever in Formula 1: Lando Norris

Norris was quick to mention that he feels more confident this season as he is fighting at the front. He also stated that although he does not fear any driver in F1, he feels the pressure when he sees Hamilton behind him.

“The fight is with Mercedes, and it’s Lewis, which maybe puts that little more pressure on you,” said Norris.

“I don’t think the fact that it was Lewis changes everything, and it’s like: ‘Oh my God, what do I have to do now?’, but it makes a very small difference, because you know he’s one of the best drivers in the world and ever in Formula 1,” stated the McLaren driver.

Lando earned the praise of Lewis Hamilton with his performances with the Mercedes driver. Hamilton called Norris “such a good driver” during one of their on-track battles.
