Lando Norris Clarifies His Misconstrued Lewis Hamilton-Mercedes F1 Statements – “That’s Not Just the Person I Am…”

Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton are two of the most iconic F1 drivers in the recent era. The duo shares a good on and off-track relationship. However, there has been a recent miscommunication regarding Lando, which he cleared out in a recent interview.

Lando and Lewis both belong to the United Kingdom and the British people can’t be prouder than this. One’s a seven-time world champion, another’s just 22 years old and already has 5 podiums under his belt. As both of them are capable drivers, they often turn up against each other on track.

During a recent interview by The High Performance Podcast, Lando was asked to share his thoughts on miscommunication. The British driver conveyed, “There’s not been one big thing, there’s just been like comments, where I’d have said something and like it would’ve been probably about Lewis or Sebastian one of the drivers I respect more than anyone.”

The 22-year-old driver further stated that he talked about Mercedes and Lewis a few months back in an interview. It was about “You should expect him (Hamilton) to win the race cuz he’s in the Mercedes.” This created a bit of controversy among fans.

Talking about this, Norris asserted on the podcast, “I’d never mean something to have bad intentions. Like that’s not just the person I am. To really hate someone. But I would never mean it, especially in an interview when I have nothing against a person, Lewis at this point or Mercedes. So the fact people wanna put it across that way and if people believe that, then they obviously just don’t know me very well.”

What makes Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes so special?

Lewis Hamilton has been the star of Mercedes for years now. Hamilton and Mercedes are a deadly duo as they have really helped each other reach new heights. With Lewis, the German team is one of the forces to reckon with now.

The Lewis-Mercedes era has been beneficial for both parties. As Lewis helped Mercedes claim their eighth constructor’s championship, similarly Mercedes helped Hamilton to grab six out of seven drivers’ titles.

To call them made for each other would be a bit of an understatement. The Brackley-based team oozes out different levels of confidence when they have Lewis Hamilton behind their car. As the new season dawns, Lewis and Mercedes pair up once again to conquer the sport. Will they succeed again? Only time will tell.
