"That's one of the biggest things. Never being home, always traveling, having different interests and..." — Lando Norris

In karting, you turn up and drive, look at the data and go home. But I like doing more, learning about the engines and how to make them go even better.

In karting, in the European races, you have the cameras and the film crews and you do interviews. At around 13 I'd already started doing bit of media and it just increases more and more with every level you take, especially when you get into cars - and when you hit F1 it's an even higher step up. It's something you get used to over time.

I've been away since I was pretty much eight, traveling to the car tracks, and then going to Europe and traveling more.

A team like McLaren doesn't want to keep changing drivers at a time when they're developing the car. They want consistency.
