People can do what they want, honestly. They have the right to do it if they want to do it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that\u2019s sport sometimes. Of course, you don\u2019t want it. I prefer if people cheer for me. But I don\u2019t know, I just concentrate on doing my things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the Sao Paulo event, Norris reflected on handling public criticism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s always people out there that try and bring you down a little bit. I guess it\u2019s quite normal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re on a big stage, there\u2019s a lot of people that talk and say things, try and influence other people to have effects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven the cheers and the not-cheers \u2013 you still hear it. It\u2019s not the nicest thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think it\u2019s something I\u2019ve done well over the last few months. I think I cared too much, and probably it was affecting me in not the best ways. I\u2019ve just learned to deal with those things better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  <a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/t.cfjump.com\/92797\/b\/289781\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none; vertical-align: middle;\" alt=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/289781.gif\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Racing Bulls have issued a statement after a team member appeared to encourage booing of Lando Norris in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":281300,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,1737,806,805,803,804,9107,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-281299","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-motosport","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-lando-norris","11":"tag-motor","12":"tag-motor-sports","13":"tag-motosport","14":"tag-motosports","15":"tag-racing-bulls","16":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
