FORMULA ONE star Lando Norris has committed to a major lifestyle change in a bid to become a world champion.
The 25-year-old currently sits second in the 2025 driver rankings, behind team-mate .
He already has one win to his name from five races, with three additional podium finishes.
And in a bid to become the best on the grid, the Brit has followed in the footsteps of seven-time world champion .
Norris revealed at the weekend that he recently decided to stop drinking alcohol.
The McLaren man claimed that he “can't afford” to party while fighting for the championship.
Norris travelled to Holland to enjoy Kings Day celebrations last April, just days before the Miami Grand Prix.
He went on to win the race in Florida – the first race victory of his F1 career.
But he will not be celebrate the Dutch festival this year.
Norris told Viaplay: “I'm fighting for a championship. I can't afford to do these things. I'll go back home and train.
“This race was tough, it was physically demanding…
“There's much more to life than to drink. I've not drunk all year and I'm proud of that. [I'll] keep working hard, so no fun for me.”
Back in 2023, F1 icon Hamilton revealed that he cut out drinking in a bid to improve performance – and was thrilled with the results.
He told Vogue: “I’ll suffer [from a hangover] for several days – sometimes it’ll be like three or four days.
“I’ve always been looking for how do you get that extra one percent? As an athlete, that’s what you are always doing.
“I don’t know if I’m going to drink again. Since I’ve stopped drinking, I’ve just been feeling so much better, so much more clarity.
“I sleep better, I wake up in the morning and I can still get up at 5 a.m.”
Both drivers are next in action at the Miami GP on May 4.
