Lando Norris, the McLaren driver, remains unfazed by his newfound championship lead as he prepares for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. Despite taking a dominant victory in Mexico City, Norris insists that his mindset remains unchanged for the final four races of the season. With a one-point lead over his teammate Oscar Piastri and 36 points behind Max Verstappen, Norris is focused on maintaining his form and not letting the pressure get to him.
During the media day at Interlagos, Norris stated that the upcoming weekend feels the same as any other. When asked about his mindset entering the decisive final rounds, he replied, 'We'll see at the end of the year. At the minute, nothing changes. I feel the same.'
Norris also downplayed the impact of having Verstappen and Piastri in the title fight, acknowledging that his confidence has been boosted by the Mexico win, but not significantly altered. He expects a challenging weekend in Sao Paulo, mindful of the weather conditions that could affect the race, as rain had a significant impact on last year's event.
Norris prefers a straightforward weekend and is prepared for any conditions, whether it's raining, dry, sunny, or cold. He believes that a dry track is more straightforward and allows him to repeat his Mexico performance, while rain adds an element of luck.
