A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Lando Norris claims that there are certain traits he won't give up in the quest to be world champion. Whilst teammate Oscar Piastri agrees, he believes nonetheless, that 'you have to be tough on track'.
In an interview with The Guardian, Norris was clear: "There are certain things I would not do that other champions have done. I don’t have as much of a killer instinct as probably most of the drivers or most champions because I was just not brought up that way.”
Piastri agrees with Norris, but reaffirms 'you need to be tough on track'
When faced with his teammate's comments, Piastri felt in a similar way. “I think everyone has their own personality, everyone has their own style,” he said quoted by PlanetF1.

“I think the most detrimental thing you can do is try and do it in a way that’s not your own style. For some people, that looks very different,” before stating the non-negotiable traits a driver who wants to realistically become world champion should possess.
“Obviously being fast is the most important one. But there are certain traits that you need. But I think, as Lando said, that doesn’t mean you need to be a bad person. You need to be tough on track. But there’s a lot of different ways you can go about it."
“I don’t think there’s one style or one perfect mould of what a Formula 1 World Champion looks like. I think they’ve all looked slightly different.
“You could argue that some of them look similar in a lot of ways, but again, I think the most important thing is to try and do it the way you want to do it, and that will give you the most.”
