Lando Norris explains F1 driving styles, champagne slams + special helmets

F1 Explains · 2025-06-13

What is a ‘driving style’ and how many different ones are there? What’s the secret to executing a champagne pop on the podium? And how do F1 drivers come up with ideas for special helmet designs and create the final product?

McLaren driver Lando Norris joins Christian Hewgill at the Canadian Grand Prix to give you the answers.

Lando also tells us what he likes to eat for breakfast, why he has to get up so early on race day, his guilty pleasures, what he’d be if he wasn’t an F1 driver, and why he wants to become World Champion.
