Norris Wasn't Challenged By His Teammate For Last Couple Of Years Says Brown

"Lando was kind of unchallenged for the most part of the last couple of years. Even though drivers always drive to the best of their ability, we know if you have a teammate who's pushing you, you just get a little bit more without necessarily trying; it just happens."

"So I think the fact that Oscar has been so close has benefited Lando. They also have a very similar feel for the car, so I think in addition to driving just faster and harder, they quite complement each other when you listen to them in the debriefs."

"They kind of say the same stuff, so that's also helped the engineers and the designers pick a direction; versus one driver saying he has understeer and the other driver saying he has oversteer, you've got some engineers scratching their heads on which way to go."
