NORRIS KEEN TO TRY HIS HAND AT RALLYING
Formula 1 driver Lando Norris has expressed an interest in taking part in a rally in the future.
The McLaren racer was introduced to the category at a recent promotional video shoot and says that he wants to tackle the mixed-surface sport in the future.
“Going there for the first time and witnessing it, [it is amazing] how crazy those people are,” said
Norris to motorsport.com. “It made me really want to have a go. I might start where there’s no trees, [at the] end of the year, I just want to have a go – in a safe place.
“Car control and flicking it in and handbrake and timing and all of that stuff, it’s always good to do every now and then for like car control and to keep your wits about with more than just driving a Formula 1 car. It’s like karting. A lot of F1 drivers like to do karting, because it gets them back in the feeling of feeling things and it’s very feeling-related in karting. [It is] the same with rallying, I just want to go and try something new.”
Norris is in seventh place in the F1 standings heading into this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix.
