Charles: Should we do Norisring? George: Ooh, yeah, let's do it. I guess it's pretty simple, no? Charles: Well, you know, the track. George: I do, I was leading there once and I got absolutely dive bombed by you and Alex. And it ruined my race. I remember. Charles: Oh, yes. So- George: That was where I posted a photo the other day. That was Norisring. [Clip of the Geochalex divebomb from 2015.]

"Lando Norris, the 18-year-old McLaren junior who was recently announced as the team's reserve driver, has made his rivalry with Ferrari's Charles LeClerc clear. The latter showed dominance in GP2 this past season, taking the overall crown and perhaps earning himself a spot in Formula 1 next year with Sauber. While the Monaco-born Maranello driver has stolen the show, Norris tells that he's not to be outshined, saying that he plans to prove his skills in F2 next year.

Lando Norris will make his debut in the Formula 1 support series come 2018. His success as a GP3 champion foreshadowed his abilities to the rest of the racing community including his Woking bosses, something that he intends to capitalize on shortly. With a one-and-done campaign planned for Norris next year in F2, he'll work to earn his spot in the top tier of motorsport by 2020.

“I would expect to win if I win [races as a rookie],” said Norris. “Leclerc has done it this year so if I want to beat or prove I’m just as a good then I’m going to have to win. 

“I think that’s the main thing – I don’t think there’s any point in going for second or third."
