Ever since that moment, fans claimed the duo could be the best pairing in Formula 1 if they teamed up. And rightfully so, McLaren fulfilled the wish by signing Ricciardo ahead of the 2021 season.

However, the duo’s relationship is yet to pick up, with Norris opting to stay focused on racing. What’s more, the two drivers have had contrasting starts to the season; Norris has constantly out-paced his teammate, who was initially the favorite amongst the two.
