Inside Lando Norris’ Mental Game: What F1 Drivers Teach Us About Pressure & Performance

F1 Isn't Just Fast—It's Mentally Fierce

In a recent interview with Formula1.com, McLaren driver Lando Norris opened up about how tough it can be mentally to compete at the top level of motorsport.

“I’ve always been very hard on myself,” Norris said.
“When I make mistakes, I take it seriously... I used to bottle a lot of things up.”

He reminds us that mental performance is just as important as physical performance and it’s a concept we live by at Wellness Wonderland.

3 Wellness Lessons from the F1 World

1. Recovery is Part of Winning

Formula 1 drivers train hard, but they also recover hard. Breathwork, therapy, rest, and even cold plunges are staples in their routine. You can’t perform at your best if your mind and body are running on fumes.

2. Self-Talk Shapes Performance

The way you speak to yourself after a “bad lap” (or bad day) matters. Compassionate self-talk can build mental resilience.

3. Pressure Needs a Release Valve

Suppressing stress doesn’t make it go away. It just builds up. Recovery tools — from exercise to mindfulness — are essential to release tension.
