Lando Norris says he was happy to win his first Formula 1 title, but Lewis Hamilton's seven championships have made him want more. The comparison left the 2025 champion “not very happy to have only won one championship” — “in a good way”, he said ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Speaking to the media at Interlagos, Norris was asked to sum up Hamilton's career. Hamilton is due to make his 400th grand prix start in Brazil this weekend. Norris praised him for still giving Charles Leclerc a fight and called Leclerc one of the best on the grid.

Norris called Hamilton's longevity an inspiration, although he does not expect to race into his 40s. Hamilton's current form, he said, makes him believe he can compete for many more years.
