I’m watching this while he’s in his third season with McLaren, he just signed a new multi year contract, got a podium in Monaco. I think the first win isn’t far away anymore :))
Norris reminds me verry much to Ayrton Senna. He wins everithing at the First attemp in F4, Formula renault 2.0, Formula 3 and now in F2 is second in the standings. He was also youngest World Champion in karting. Yes he is rich yes he has perfect Support but at all he has to bring IT home already by himself. Also Senna has best equipment in the feder series. But Lando has proved that he is quick and intelligent in every class he drove. I am happy to see him in 2019 in f1. He will outperform Sainz from the Start of the season. Norris, Leclerc, Verstappen and Russell will be like Prost, Senna, mansell and Piquet in the 80s
Verstappen has an edge on all of them. he's the same age as them, has driven in a top 3 team for the past 3 years and clearly still has a lot of development to do. uncertain about everyone but Max at the moment seeing as Max is the only one that has shown it and won races and podiums. It's really good for F1 that there is a lot of young talent. It's also dissapointing to see talents like Stoff, De vries, Albon. Not being in F1 because of pay drivers like Sirotkin and Stroll.
I haven't watched F1 for while. With this coronavirus bull**** I've been watching the virtual GP streams and I must say I'm having a blast. I don't have a favorite driver, as they all seem great dudes, but I hope Lando gets to take the podium a few times in 2020. It's highly unlikely you see this but, good luck dude.
I know that this is 2 years too late, but power units are way to expensive to build. All the companies that build them have the money to do so. Ferrari is one of the biggest sports/supercar manufacturers, and were owned by FIAT. Mercedes-Benz has high sales numbers, and is well versed with pioneering technologies. Honda also has high sales numbers, and have decent earnings through their bikes and cars. Renault gets a massive cash boost (mainly in Europe) due to their road cars. As for McLaren, it's very risky to build your own engines when you don't have financial stability. They are not owned by another car manufacturer, and they don't produce cars in mass numbers (like Mercedes and Renault). Hence, McLaren decided to play it safe.
I really like Lando but McLaren have been really quick to throw the new protégés under the bus ex. Kmag and Stoff and I think we all can say unless there is a huge leap forward the car will be junk again next year. I think he could’ve used another full year in F2 but I really hope this works out well for Lando. And I really hope Stoffel gets another chance. I really think he is very talented and was a huge victim of circumstance.
I like his attitude towards it. I hope McLaren can support him with a competitive car. I think in time, they will. BUT Whether they can or not, I'll always be a McLaren fan. Also at the end - aside from grand prix wins with senna at the wheel, why does everyone love the mp4/4 when there's the mp4/5!!! The mp4/5 has an iconic v10! It seems to be forgotten. I have to say the mp4/4 is a breath taking car. But I love every bit of the mp4/5 especially the rear end.
moi heh he has been underperforming!! How are they ever going to get points with stoffel so the might as well change drivers and see if the can get more points with lando
The frustration is next season,is the only live race ,to watch him, will be the British grand Prix,as channel 4 finishes,live motor racing, on Freeview TV and sky has ,,6/7 years i think to all the grand Prix.and we don't no who will get the highlights.next season.
All the best Lando. A young driver with a mature racing head on his shoulders. I've watched Motor Sport for 45 years and the last time I witnessed a talented as promising as Lando was a Young Brazilian named Ayrton de Silva who later adopted his mothers name Senna. Yes I believe Lando has the potential to be the next icon of Formula 1. There are good drivers and there are great drivers . Great drivers come along a couple of times in a generation. Lewis Hamilton. Alain Prost . Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna in recent years. In a few years time we will add Lando Norris to that list....
You can tell the old timers from the younger crowd. The new kids to the sport just can not understand why McLaren would replace Vandoorne with Norris. But, if you have watched enough races, you can just tell if a driver has that spark or not. Vandoorne did not. He was given plenty of time and never showed any glimmer of greatness. It is a race for the teams, as well. You never know when the next Max, Gasly, or LeClerc will come along. Lando could be that driver. McLaren spent 100's of millions on Vandoorne so he has had his chance. Hopefully, Lando will be just as good in F1 as he has been his whole career. (national carting champion, Renault 2 and 3, Formula 2 and 3, European race championships to numerous to list.) And it is not about the car. No matter what car a great F1 driver is in, that spark will always shine through.
Ross Mcghie He drove for Mclaren at their two worst years plus his benchmark was set incredibly high with a teammate like Alonso. He drove good, he performed well. Stoffel is qualified to be in F - more than Verstappen.
Well the future look bright for british f1 drivers. Not coz Norris and Russell are good drivers but we will not hear #Blessed and vibes and best fans every time they win in the future
What a missed opportunity by Macca if they had the chance to sign Raikkonen. That would have been PR Gold. Lando looks like he is 12 and requires parental supervision at the races.
Ciaron Smith might perform though man, mclaren would be gutted if they signed kimi and Lando went on to win titles with somebody else too much interest so you’ve got to take the chance
McLaren The Punks at sky sports owe Fernando an apology for making fun and laughing at his season. Saying how funny to be Fernando !!!! Make them apologize .
He doesn't look English at all, his accent is also weird... he sounds like someone who's learnt to speak with a southern English accent not coming from Britain. It's mostly the sound of those short 'i's in words such as 'think', 'feeling', 'skin'... the way he says 'championship' sounds like the way a Frenchman would do! His sing-a-song tones are also not really British to my ear (I'm Scottish, so I do know how to sound British with a sing-a-song intonation), for some reasons he seems to be much of a Lewis Hamilton case, whose accent is widely discussed and questioned for its 'not really British' sounds...
This is so toxic . How do you expect a team to function if you put 2 good drivers in awful cars and then knebworth ca them out because the cars aren't getting the results
tonkatoytruck did you read the comment?? The car is a piece of crap at the moment and I fear for Norris if he is in it and it's still crap , there's a good chance it may ruin his career as well . Hamilton debuted in a top car and with Schumacher and senna it was less car driven and more skill . Manual gear boxes excetra . Lando may be good but mclaren lying to themselves about how the drivers the problem will have to change .
Benendes It has nothing to do with the car. When you watch F1 racing long enough, you can just tell when a driver has that spark or not. Vandoorne did not.
tonkatoytruck you forgot to mention vandoorne was running on alonsos settings for a long time mean his car was never really developed. I'll admit he's not the best driver but sauber has a better car you carnt just deny there car is crap
Juan The only people who have destroyed their career is the drivers themselves. Vandoorne had plenty of time to prove himself and failed. Lando will not need luck. He will either have the spark or not.
@@tonkatoytruck It is not possible to be matched with his teammate if your team is disadvantaging you by giving you a car 5 tenth slower. And do not tell me that's not true, Fernando has always been a political animal.
Man he’s changed so much, he’s way more confident and out going now. He’s so shy and quiet in this video it’s weird!
Yeah, you can tell how shy and nervous he is just by looking at him really... heh bless him
I’m watching this while he’s in his third season with McLaren, he just signed a new multi year contract, got a podium in Monaco. I think the first win isn’t far away anymore :))
Ohh, i'm waiting for the day mate! Fingers crossed :)
Man..him talking about Carlos, how he has never met him..now them being best friends..crazy
9 months later ****'
ITS BWOKKKKEEEEENNNNNNN
Watching this after his first podium feels weird
it'd be insane seeing lando and charles fighting for the championship at some point in their careers
Yesss same. And also max obviously
How do y'all feel now?☺️
“It’s a huge place for a very small me” 🥺🥺🥺
Good luck in 2019 Lando! Hope you do well in your first season!!
good luck lando let's hope mclaren can put together a car that's not last.....
Buzz Killington He and Carlos will be able to carry the team forwards.
@@SamuelSantos_ They can,but if the car don't?
Balázs Lupkovics The drivers can help the team develop a good car, it’s something Alonso isn’t good at, maybe Carlos and Lando will be good at it.
@@SamuelSantos_ "Well,Alonso isn't bad at giving information about the car!" #GP2engine
Come on let's not be negative Nando came best of the rest at Singapore
Here just after his 100th race🥹
Lando is so cute here hehe I can see how careful/nervous but excited he is
Im super happy for him. Seems like a genuine guy, hope he doesnt have to retire every race
We need more of Lando! 🥰🥰
Good luck Lando, don't let the pressure and thoughts take control over you, do your best :)
And look how close you were to your first win! It’s coming soon!🙏
Hope you have a fantastic time at Mclaren and manage to score loads of points good luck Lando 🍀🍀🍀👍😀🤗
A lot of other drivers could learn from him. He's very approachable to everyone.
Great to look back at this video after his first season!
Good luck Lando hope the team can provide you and Carlos a good car to compete with the front runners
I’ve been a Mclaren fan since there was only a Bruce....
Hope that the present staff can return Mclaren to the Top of the Heap!
✌️❤️😁
Lando mate, you have my full backing for next year!
Yes!!! Finally! I really wanted Lando to join McLaren as a main driver!
dafuq bro his confidence really said 📈📈📈
i want tooned lando and carlos
Adam Howitt who doesn’t
Freddie Mills exactly
I hope he finds the time to keep doing the Twitch streams and all the social media/connectivity with the fans that he's been doing.
2020: This won't be a problem.
@@paulromo3633 Yeah..
Finally will be able to cheer on a Brit again in F1.
Weird seeing this after his fantastic performance at imola for p3 and holding off Lewis for a few lap defo will be a champ one day
Let's go McLaren together, win or lose we always with you
Little did he know he would sighn a longterm contract
Great Lando, you now have a terrific future behind you.
Now give these guys a better car and they'll deliver. Feel sorry for Vandoorne.
Looks like alonso passing the legacy of meme lord to lando.
What a wonderful young man. Very well spoken.
i like this guy already

Either that or Martin Brundle
Nothing is certain.. F1 is a totally different ball game. I think you'll be surprised. Hope not though 😉
Senna never won a Kart championship
I haven't watched F1 for while. With this coronavirus bull**** I've been watching the virtual GP streams and I must say I'm having a blast.
I don't have a favorite driver, as they all seem great dudes, but I hope Lando gets to take the podium a few times in 2020.

Future world champ
Dude’s wearing Richard Mille already...... the future is bright
congrats man :D
Excited to kick Stoffel eh?
Props to Lando tho, have a nice 2019 season bud
He matched Alonso's pace in last FP1. Matched their qualy laps in his first test with McLaren. don't worry LANDO. Relax and enjoy
Mike taerte he didn’t match Alonso, he was 8 tenths of Alonso. Vandoorne only 2-3 tenths.
I really like Lando but McLaren have been really quick to throw the new protégés under the bus ex. Kmag and Stoff and I think we all can say unless there is a huge leap forward the car will be junk again next year. I think he could’ve used another full year in F2 but I really hope this works out well for Lando. And I really hope Stoffel gets another chance.

Give Carlos and Lando good cars McLaren! Surely not with GP2 engines.
"GP2 engines" Red Bull has won races this year with these engines. It is the chassis that is terrible.
#StoffelDeservesAnotherChance
That is true. I'm going to miss that boi😭
@Le Zramy you're joking right? 🤣
Copyrights Can suck IT No he doesnt Alonso thrashed him. I like Stoffel, great guy. But he isn’t fast enough.
Stoffel was too slow
not really tho imo.
#ThankYouTheStoffel #GoodLuckLando
If I don't look at the video, he kind of strangely sounds like Lewis
No, not at all.. He has a hint of a south African accent Lando
To me he has a look of Nico Rosberg😂
not really...
I hope he doesn't whine like Lewis too.
`He does abit
Why did you do that mclaren stoffel is good driver
Stawful that's why
They have no choice because if not other teams will sign him. And McLaren can't go with vandoorne and Norris.
That so true,they tired,this year
moi heh he has been underperforming!! How are they ever going to get points with stoffel so the might as well change drivers and see if the can get more points with lando

Rip vandoorne
Good Luck Chuck! (>

Look at him 18 year old wearing a Richard Mille, price of a car/house on that boys wrist!
Dan Gleasack not like he’d of bought it
Probably from McLaren sponsorship with Richard Mille
that's the first time he "talked" to carlos huh? so no tweet from '12-'13? ok. lol
Maybe with Pérez McLaren could win something in 19 but....
McLaren does a 10 minutes video and this happen....

I can see now, without driving you will be better than Vandoorne, he’s absolutely shocking! Thank god he’s no longer driving for McLaren!

F1 needs to be a feeder series for indycar
This is so toxic . How do you expect a team to function if you put 2 good drivers in awful cars and then knebworth ca them out because the cars aren't getting the results

is he being overhyped?
No If you do some homework, there is a great article on all the races this kid has won since the national carting championship.
😁😁😁
Wtf he can not even win gp 2
Russell is 2 years older. This means a lot in lower formulas, and he's never driven with Pirellis before their year.
Jarno Norris has won more races than you could possibly imagine. I suggest doing a little more homework before making such silly statements.
um
yeah, I want to see Hamilton vs Alonso 2.0
Lorris look like Rosberg
