McLaren rookie Lando Norris plans to remain on his best behavior as a bona fide Grand Prix driver, insisting he won’t be indulging in a party style lifestyle away from the race track.
Norris was promoted to a full-time race seat with McLaren for this season after his impressive run in the motorsport’s junior ranks.
As a young man with a solid head on his shoulders and a fierce determination to succeed, Norris is keeping his priorities in check.

Norris admits he has ‘a lot to live up to’ at McLaren
While he has a good sense of humour – as his posts on social media often indicate – the 19-year-old admits he doesn’t like to drink, preferring to lay low at home and enjoy his sim racing.
“I don’t do that [go out partying] now. I enjoy driving on the sim, doing stuff like that, staying at home,” he said.
“I don’t like drinking, basically. At all. I find much more of a negative effect of a hangover than [pleasure] getting drunk,” the 19-year-old added.
“I don’t like it. I’ve not done it for a while and I don’t think I’ll get to [that] point at all.”
The young Brit will occasionally go out, but without painting the town red.

“Sometimes I’ll go out with some of my friends who live in London but I hope nothing comes of it,” he added.
“People are still allowed to have a life and do things they like and enjoy doing. I don’t think I’m trapped in any way with what I’m allowed to do and not allowed to do.
“I do things I love doing. Sometimes that is maybe going out to have a drink with friends, going out partying or whatever.
“But I enjoy sim racing more than going out to do that, so you probably won’t see me in London getting hammered too much.”
