The Lando Norris of 2020 is a world away from the Lando Norris who first appeared in a Formula One paddock a few years ago.
When a teenage Norris was being billed as McLaren's next big thing in 2017 and 2018, he was in the paddock in in a testing capacity ahead of his elevation to the F1 team in 2019. His first F1 appearance was in Hungary in 2017 and the young 17-year-old who faced the media afterwards was shy, awkward and looked like he wanted to be anywhere else -- typical of most teenagers in that kind of environment.
