Sebastian Vettel has praised Lando Norris for being open and honest about his “self-doubt” after F1 near-misses in the last year, labelling the McLaren driver “courageous” for his earnest soundbites.
Norris, 25, who lost his championship lead in Saudi Arabia on Sunday after teammate Oscar Piastri claimed his third win in four races, has spoken regularly in a self-critical manner, both during races on team radio and afterwards in the media pen.
