Lando Norris has followed in the footsteps of Lewis Hamilton by making a huge change that he hopes could propel him to Formula 1 glory.

Heading into the 2025 season, McLaren star Norris was the heavy favourite to win the world title after pushing Max Verstappen close last year.

After winning the first race of the campaign in Australia, Norris has suffered a dip in form, with teammate Oscar Piastri winning three of the past four Grands Prix.

As a result, Norris trails Piastri by 10 points in the driver's championship and is only two points ahead of Verstappen.

In a bid to win his first ever F1 world title, Norris has revealed that he has made a huge lifestyle change.

As reported by Planet F1, the Brit has now stopped drinking alcohol.

When asked if he will be attending the Koningsdag (King’s Day) celebrations in the Netherlands this year, Norris told Viaplay: "I would have loved to go again because it was one of the best days of my life. And last time, I won in Miami straight afterwards.

"I miss all my friends. I had a good week in Amsterdam with Martin [Garrix, DJ], but I’m fighting for the World Championship now."

The 25-year-old added: "I can’t afford to do that now. I have to go back home and train. The [Jeddah] race was physically demanding and I’d like to have a drink now.

"But I haven’t had a single drink all year and I’m proud of that. I just have to keep working hard and can’t go out and party.

"I’m competing against the best in the world here – Max [Verstappen], Oscar [Piastri], Charles [Leclerc] and George [Russell]. If I make even the slightest mistake, I have to pay for it immediately."

Back in 2023, seven-time world champion Hamilton revealed how he ditched alcohol in a bid to find that extra one per cent.

He said to 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."
