I have to show that I'm worthy of being behind the wheel of a McLaren F1," said Lando Norris.

 Lando Norris admits he will have to prove he deserves his chance in F-1 with McLaren in 2019. 

McLaren's new Formula One driver Lando Norris says he will have to prove he is "worthy" of a place on the 2019 rookie exchange during his rookie campaign.

The Briton has replaced the outgoing Stoffel Vandoorne in McLaren's revised driver line-up for the upcoming season, alongside Carlos Sainz, who in turn takes the seat vacated by Fernando Alonso.

Norris heads into his debut F-1 season with great hype and expectation surrounding him after a stellar junior career in which he claimed five titles in just four years of single-seater racing. 

"I think the goal of every driver is to beat his teammate. In an ideal world, if I was perfect, I could beat every teammate I have in every race. 

"It's unlikely to happen, I won't be in that situation. There are things I need to learn from Carlos and different drivers and improve as a driver. 

"There will definitely be things that I'm not very good at that I can improve on. 

"Obviously I want to be able to beat him in some races, but it's very unlikely that anyone will thrash their teammate in every race. 

"This is my training year, my first year, hopefully many. I want to do well, but I have to learn and progress to become a better driver. 

"In an ideal world I will be able to do well and beat everyone in every race, but that's just a vision."

2018 was the first year Norris failed to win the championship after he switched to single-seaters, as he missed out on the Formula 2 crown to Mercedes F1 protégé and new Williams signing George Russell. 

The 19-year-old admitted his rookie F2 campaign taught him to lower his expectations and believes a tough campaign that heralded just one race win will serve him well as he prepares to join McLaren's rebuilding efforts, with the Woking team delivering one of the worst cars on the grid in 2018 to finish sixth in the Constructors' Championship. 

Asked if he found it difficult to reset his expectations, Norris said: "In some ways. To be honest, I didn't win the championship last year, so it was good enough to know that I can't always win.
