Norris was ‘depressed a lot of the time’

McLaren’s Lando Norris spoke frankly about mental health yesterday and admitted he had regularly felt depressed early in his Formula One career, when he questioned whether he was good enough.

Norris was the youngest British driver in Formula One history when he debuted as a 19-year-old in 2019 but, now 21, has become a fan favourite as well as an outstanding talent on track.

He has been on the podium four times this season, nearly taking his first win at last month’s Russian Grand Prix after starting from pole position, and is fourth overall.
