: I know that 71 is your number for this season . Why ?
NN : My lucky number is 17 . Since I was young I have had a racing car with this number . That was already taken this year , so I decided to go for the opposite .
: How many members are in the RoKit Venturi team ?
NN : There are more than 30 people in the team , a lot of people for only two cars ! Mechanics , engineers , people who are working in the simulator room … In these cars there are a lot of things to do and to develop .
During the first quarantine in 2020 , Norman not only continued to keep his excellent physical form but also took part in the special campaign # stopcoronavirusinmonaco organized via the @ hello _ monaco Instagram account .
: How do you feel when you compete in your home city , in your hometown ?
NN : Monaco is special for every driver . We spend at least half a year in the simulator , so we are in the same conditions with other drivers . I competed in Monaco 5 times , I can say I know what to expect , I know what to be careful of .
For sure when you ’ re young and you are racing in Monaco there is more pressure , because you want to do well . It ’ s really important to stay focused . When you live here , friends
