Helmut Marko F1, advisor to Red Bull Racing, believes that Lando Norris would be a good fit for the team. Marko met with Norris’ agent at Silverstone, and they discussed the possibility of Norris joining Red Bull in the future. He also confirmed that there have been “intensive discussions” about this possibility in the past.
Marko noted that Norris and Max Verstappen are good friends, which could make them a good team-mate pairing. However, Norris is under contract with McLaren until 2025. So it is not clear if he would be willing to leave the team. Marko noted that Norris and Max Verstappen are good friends, which could make them a good team-mate pairing. Both drivers are known for their aggressive driving style, and they would likely push each other to be better. However, Norris is under contract with McLaren until 2025, so it is not clear if he would be willing to leave the team.
Marko said of the Brit, as per Kleine Zeitung
“He has a contract with McLaren until 2025, but among the young drivers, he is by far the strongest, His youthful nature would also suit Red Bull the best.”
The next few months could be interesting, as F1 Red Bull and McLaren will be negotiating their contracts with Norris and Verstappen. It will be interesting to see if Red Bull can convince Norris to join their team, and if McLaren can keep Verstappen.
