“It sucks”– Lando Norris is away from social media despite active accounts

“It sucks”– Lando Norris reveals he is not active on social media and stays away, even though his activity on these sites is consistent.

Lando Norris reveals that he is not active on social media, as he doesn’t found it a good place to spend one’s time. Hence he has been away from it for a while.

He claims that he has appointed someone to do handle his social media accounts which have a massive following, and that explains why they are so active despite his recent opinion on social media.

“I’m still enjoying what I’m doing, still having good laughs and a good time with my team,” Norris said when asked in an interview with Channel 4 if he wasn’t fooling around as much as he used to do.

“But there is also just a lot of focus on the job itself. I’m still that guy, and it’s more showing the other side, me working hard, putting a lot of time and effort into things, and having the results that I’ve had this season so far.

“That is why I got rid of social media.” Asked if he had got rid of social media completely, Norris replied: “Well, I’m still on it, But I never look at it.

“My profile is on it but I have a minion, a guy who works for me and types away pretending to be me. But I’m away from all that, it sucks.”

Proud to be in McLaren

The Briton explained that he is delighted at McLaren, as he extended his contract with the Woking-based team before the Monaco Grand Prix.

“I’m super happy, proud, I like to continue with McLaren, and it’s nice to see that they have the confidence and they are backing me more. It’s been a cool journey so far from where we were four years ago; I’ve been through that whole journey with the team.

“Towards the bottom almost, seeing the team in that position to where we are now, all the smiles on people’s faces, a lot more motivation in the team, a much happier team, more determined. I want to continue that.

“I’m hoping that when we can reach the top and reach that end goal of being those few positions higher, racing with Mercedes and Red Bull and going for those wins, I think it will make it even sweeter and even more special.”
