just,, thinking about how Lando Norris is McLaren's first WDC in 17 YEARS. Lando Norris, the one who joined their driver program/development team in 2017. Lando Norris, who has stuck by them, through thick and thin, for 8 years. Lando Norris, who has been IN THE TRENCHES helping them develop these cars, hands-on assisting the mechanics in the garage, giving the team extensive, detailed feedback, staying back at the MTC for hours, sometimes BASICALLY SPENDING THE NIGHT THERE, looking over data to squeeze every bit of performance out of a car that was stuck in the midfield for over a DECADE. Lando Norris, who took a paycut his second year in F1 to help prevent more furloughs brought upon by the pandemic. Lando Norris, who has fought to put a car that doesn't suit his driving style on podium after podium, even in his rookie years. Lando Norris, who goes above and beyond to make sure that his fans know that they're appreciated. Lando Norris, who never fails to thank his family for all of their love and support. Lando Norris, who takes EVERY opportunity to thank the team for their hard work and ALWAYS tries to shield them from criticism, even when it's deserved, even to his own detriment.
Lando Norris, who refuses to let the world of racing, the one that preaches so much about "championship mentality", harden him. Lando Norris, who won the 2025 WDC his way.
