Lando Norris, Driver, McLaren Formula 1 Team, said:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable to be here as a Drivers\u2019 World Champion. It\u2019s been my dream since all those years ago, watching on TV and wondering what it\u2019s like to be there one day, with no idea about what it takes, and what it could mean to everyone, not just to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the things that\u2019s most important to me has been the people who helped get us to this point. Whether it\u2019s my family, friends, management, trainer, but also the people who design, create and build the car, my mechanics, and my engineers. What puts a smile on my face is seeing the team\u2019s reaction – that\u2019s my biggest motivation. It means nothing without the people who helped you achieve it.<\/p>\n
\u201cRacing alongside Oscar the last three seasons has pushed me a lot more. He\u2019s played a massive part in this. He\u2019s been my teammate, and we\u2019ve helped each other. He\u2019s made the journey better, with an incredible fight right to the very end.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to say a big thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single person in the team. Everyone plays a part in our story. I will remember it for the rest of my life. Here\u2019s to many more.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lando Norris, Driver, McLaren Formula 1 Team, said:\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable to be here as a Drivers\u2019 World Champion.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":341602,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[573],"tags":[64,63,817,813,816,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-341601","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-formula-1","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-f1","11":"tag-formula-1","12":"tag-formula1","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341601","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=341601"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341601\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/341602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=341601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=341601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=341601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
