Lando Norris' breakthrough F1 win can be a "watershed moment", Damon Hill believes.
It brought an end to an unwelcome record of having the most podiums in F1 without a win, and helped banish the ghosts of his near-miss at the 2021 Russian Grand Prix, which prompted suggestions that Norris is a choker when it comes to delivering under pressure.
“I thought he’d done everything that could be expected of someone who is an aspiring and potential grand prix winner and potential world champion in that he’d paid his dues and he’d learned the hard way. "But you put that thought out of your mind because you know as long as you keep doing what you are doing and knocking on the door, opportunity will certainly open the door eventually and it will suddenly just all happen.
Asked what impact a prolonged wait for a maiden win can have on a driver’s psyche, Hill replied: “I think it’s not so much your own psyche, it’s just annoying.
