Lando Norris says his early struggles in F1 have benefitted him mentally in this year's title race as he looks to catch Max Verstappen in the championship. Norris, who is 62 points behind Verstappen with eight events remaining, is experiencing his first F1 title fight after McLaren's surge in form since the Miami Grand Prix in May. The 24-year-old joined McLaren in 2019 as a teenager and has previously revealed he was 'depressed a lot of the time' during his rookie season.
'But it's how you turn that into a positive thing, how do you not let it affect you in a bad way and how can you actually use it in a good way to help you focus on the correct things and so on. 'I'm sure I do now and probably will forever, you know, when you enter Q3 or any qualifying lap when you have to go out and deliver. 'I know it gives you butterflies every time because there's so much nerves, so much pressure.
