Norris would be a welcome addition for Mercedes or Red Bull in the coming years after showing his clear ability behind the wheel in his four seasons in F1, with Lewis Hamilton and Sergio Perez approaching the latter years of their careers.

Red Bull chief Christian Horner recently opened up about their conversations, although the team principal predicted he would remain with the team for “a few more years”.

“We’ve talked to Lando a couple of times over the years, but every time we’ve had a conversation, he’s signed a contract with McLaren the next day,” Horner, whose team will continue to field Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez in 2023 and 2024, said.

“He’s on a long-term contract with McLaren and it looks like he’s going to be there a few more years.”
