Albon claims Norris has “open invitation” to join Red Bull “if he wants it”
It is rumored that McLaren’s Lando Norris is a long-term target for Red Bull, who has been interested in him for a while. Talks between Norris and Red Bull have taken place in the past, but last year Norris signed a contract extension with McLaren. With uncertainty surrounding Sergio Perez’s future, Norris is seen as a potential replacement. However, getting Norris out of his current contract would be costly. Former Red Bull driver Alex Albon has revealed that the team has left the door open for Norris to join if he wants to, but being Max Verstappen’s teammate is not an easy task. Norris, despite not having won a race yet, is highly regarded in F1 and is considered a future world champion. Albon also believes that George Russell, the Mercedes young driver, is likely to win a world title before him or Norris, as long as Lewis Hamilton decides to step aside.
