Norris says world title may give his voice more weight in GPDA talks

Lando Norris believes his status as world champion may mean people listen more closely to him in Grand Prix Drivers’ Association (GPDA) discussions, but stressed that the organisation represents drivers collectively.

Norris said the GPDA is represented by a few drivers, whose input should reflect what the drivers decide as a group rather than what the representatives decide on their own. He described the extra attention his title may bring as respect earned through a career, while saying his contribution is no more valuable than anyone else’s.

He said he wants what is best for the sport and does not consider himself biased, while acknowledging that in GPDA discussions his priorities lean more towards drivers and fans than rules.
