After three days of testing, Lando Norris answered some questions to some selected media, including Motorlat.
He commented on how it felt to be in an F1 car again, with a new Power Unit and a new teammate.

"That felt different. It has been a while, but I'm happy i think, I feel more confident this year, obviously more then I did during the past two years, I feel more ready"

"I'm that they've been three very productive days, not only for the team, also for myself," the 21-year-old said.

"I've worked a lot with my engineers, with my team around me, getting to know a few new faces, and it's been good, I felt happy".

He also gave his opinion on how good was the car in terms of feelings and confidence to push:

"I think it's a very good car to start with, from the first lap we managed to do I think we felt very confident, but I think we still need to find that final extra bit that you need in qualifying"

"We need to sit down and analyze everything from the last three days. There was a lot of fuel on board and a lot of sensors on the car, so you're not actually going to know how the car is going to behave until you get there [the first race], but in terms of going out, you can push the car to a good limit and within a reasonable pace and I think I'm very happy with it" Norris said.

"I think that it's a good thing for us as a team, but on the other side I think we have to understand the car a little bit more, how to set it up perfectly, and put it in the right aero characteristics, with the new changes, the new floor and so on, and we have to sit down together and understand what kind of changes we're going to need"

"So it's a bit of both, we still have some work to do, but I think we're in a really good place" he stated.

He also expressed himself on the new Mercedes Power Unit on how it felt different from the Renault one that McLaren had last year, and on how difficult, at first, it was to get used to all the changes:

"I think all together has been very smooth until now, a very "smooth operation" with Mercedes guys so far".

"I think we're happy, with it, a tricky thing for me was getting used to all the switches. I think there's some work to do, but we're doing it with them, working very close to the Mercedes team".

"There are different perspectives, different feelings. It has been a very productive three days, but we are happy with the work we have done. Obviously we will have to wait for qualifying to see how things can really go".

He also answered some questions about the relationship he has with his new teammate, Daniel Ricciardo, who joined McLaren this year. Lando has some more experience with the team now, but he said that they're learning from each other under different aspects.

"I think in the first few days it was more him listening to my radios, to my comments, and learning from me what was the work to do and the characteristics of the car for example, and yesterday and today it was more him adding on, he was able to give more feedback, thanks to his knowledge and experience 'cause he feels a lot more confident and comfortable in the car now," he concluded.
