Norris (76) is currently seventh in the driver standings - with his best finish of third coming at Emilia Romagna. In 13 races this year, he has had only one DNF, which came at Monte Carlo. Talking to Motorsport.com, the young British driver touched on the importance of having a long-term contract with the Woking-based team. He said: "Now I feel a bit more comfortable. I feel like I'm performing very well. I'm delivering when I need to deliver. I'm comfortable on the track. But I'm also able to live a good life and can relax when I'm away from Formula 1, and not just think 'what do I have to do for next time, because I've done a shit job here' or whatever, which is just a little bit more what I was like a few years ago." Lando Norris also touched on the importance of living a life outside the sport, saying: "You'd just think, 'why did I do badly there? Why am I not good enough in that position?' and just constantly think about it. You don't feel like you can relax. Whereas now I feel like I've got Formula 1. I'm doing everything I can and efficiently to do the best job I can in that. But then I can also live a life away from it."

Norris' commitment to McLaren in a long-term contract raised a few eyebrows when the extension was announced. However, he has been one of the better drivers on the grid in the last few seasons, but the team is arguably not giving him a good enough car his performances merit. The driver doesn't feel that way, though, as he talked about improvements the team is planning and their growth trajectory. "It's not that everything isn't (good) now, but a new wind tunnel and certain other projects we have with the team which are coming along, and which will hopefully give us better performance by '24 and '25," said Norris. "I also look forward to those times. We might not just go out and win, but I want to convince myself that it'll definitely help us move in that direction."
