McLaren star Lando Norris says that he never truly believed he would become an F1 driver until his move to McLaren was complete for the 2019 F1 season.
The 19-year old showed his talent in the lower categories, winning the Formula 3 championship in 2017 and finishing second to George Russell in Formula 2 last season.
However, despite his obvious ability at such a young age, Norris never expected to reach the top. He told RaceFans.net: "I always wanted to, but I [did] not always believe that I could do.
"I knew I was reasonably good, and I won races and some championships but it’s still not a guarantee you’re going to be in F1.
"I never believed I could get to F1 until I was told I was going to have the seat. I don’t know why, I just never believed it."
