Lando Norris has rated his season a 6/10 so far due to the fact that he is yet to win. The young McLaren driver has impressed many in Formula 1 so far and the fact that he is so self-critical suggests that he will improve a great deal and could even go on to reach the top. 

"If I had to rate it, I'd rate it at six out of 10," Norris said to Autosport."I didn't get P1! Just a couple of mistakes here and there," he explained. 

"A 10 is perfect. 10 is going in and not making any mistakes, nailing everything, which is never going to happen."

The Brit broke down the races we have had so far this season. 

"Obviously, China not going to plan from qualifying and the race [Norris had contact with Daniil Kvyat on the opening lap].

"Bahrain as a whole I'd rate very good. Then in Australia, there was the potential to get points if I was more experienced or did a better job than what I did.

"Maybe it's not as bad as it seems. There were just a couple of points here and there where it was possible to do a better job overall."

As a very inexperienced Formula 1 driver, confidence is a massive and Norris has become more confident with each race. 

"It was much better going into Bahrain, I was much more relaxed, I was enjoying it a lot more.

"I still enjoyed Australia, but I was so tense, thinking about so many things, I couldn't enjoy it as much as I wanted it.

"It didn't make it as fun as Bahrain or China."
