Brown "confident" McLaren can keep Norris long-term despite Red Bull interest
There is speculation that Red Bull could make a move to sign Lando Norris, currently racing for McLaren, as Sergio Perez’s position as Max Verstappen’s teammate is uncertain. Norris had previously been offered a drive at Toro Rosso (now AlphaTauri) by Red Bull when he was in Formula 2. Informal interest from Red Bull has continued even after Norris signed his latest McLaren contract in early 2022, and he is known to have a good relationship with Verstappen. However, McLaren CEO Zak Brown remains confident in their strong relationship with Norris and believes that as long as they continue to provide the environment he wants, he will stay with the team.
