'Not perfect' start to season but Norris 'still happy'
"I want to do it my way," Lando Norris says. It's a comment that encapsulates where he is, just over a third of the way through a Formula 1 season that could end with him as world champion.
The McLaren driver is talking at the team's factory, before this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, and he's contemplating a number of things.
There's the in-house title battle with team-mate Oscar Piastri; the way to approach racing with Red Bull's Max Verstappen, still in the championship picture himself, despite his apparent moment of madness at the last race in Spain; and Norris' own struggles to make the most of a McLaren car that is the class of the field but with which the 25-year-old Briton has admitted to struggling a little this season.
Specifically, right now, he's exploring his and his team's approach to having two extremely closely matched drivers in the fastest car in the field, allowing them to race each other and trying to stop their egos tearing the team apart, as has tended to happen in F1 in the past.
