Norris looking to take on more leadership as he prepares for third season in F1

Lando Norris is entering his third season as a McLaren driver and even he has admitted at McLaren's car lauch that he's looking to shoulder more responsibility as he welcomes his new teammate Daniel Ricciardo.

The Brit has grown and progressed massively in his two seasons in F1 and is hoping to build on the foundations laid over the last two years.

"There’s almost a little bit more of a leadership role I have to take," Norris explained at the car launch on Sky Sports.

Norris bid farewell to Carlos Sainz as he joined Ferrari but he welcomes Australian Daniel Ricciardo to the McLaren family. Norris is seeing the chance to work with the experienced driver as a chance to learn some new tricks but he did have some words of praise for his former-teammate.

"Getting to know the team, getting to know the car and obviously having Daniel in the team a guy with less experience of working with McLaren and the people within and that’s where I need to step it up a little bit," he added.
