The banter didn’t stop there. Norris added, “I’m very happy with my team, of course. I’m happy where I am.

However, Norris‘ commitment is solid. The young Brit compared himself to his teammate. “I know he’s still Daniel. Once he clicks and finds his way and so on, I hope to still be quicker than him. But I know it won’t be ‘I’m always quicker’ because he’s a very, very good driver.”
