Perhaps the worst-kept secret on the grid is Red Bull’s desire to sign Lando Norris. The Brit’s performances, especially after the McLaren upgrades, instantly put him on Red Bull‘s radar. Norris always had the hype around his name and he has been performing on a high level since his debut, but now there’s hard evidence. From Red Bull’s perspective, they need a driver who can complement the team for an extended period and who gets along with their star man, Max Verstappen. All signs point toward Norris. However, RBR’s relentless pursuit might take a back seat after the Brit’s recent update on his future with the Woking outfit.

Norris has never shied away from expressing his love and showcasing his loyalty towards McLaren. He is as loyal as they come, especially in this world of F1. Something he showcased once again while speaking about his future with the team.

“I’ve always said that I want to win with McLaren. And I think we’re getting closer and closer to that goal,” Norris confessed. He added he doesn’t just want to win races, he wants to achieve the ultimate F1 goal. “I want to make it with McLaren. I’m very happy there. So if I spend ten or 15 years there I would never say no,” he concluded as per Motorsport-Total. (Translated by Google)

Verstappen and Norris, as we all know, share a special bond and are good friends when the helmets come off. They have confessed it a few times and showcased it with their support for each other.

However, according to Windsor, this is exactly why Verstappen would like him by his side and not because of the friendship alone. Verstappen’s short-lived opening lap battle with the Brit in Japan is why he would want Norris by his side.

Windsor says, “I think he would probably be okay with Lando to push. No disrespect to Lando, I just imagine he would find Lando a little bit earlier to deal with than George that’s all. Or just sort of handling the other car. Probably because of the way Oscar’s going against him, so he probably thinks Lando wouldn’t be that much of a trouble.”
