Norris, who is one of the hottest prospects on the F1 grid, turned in a brilliant performance to finish second behind Red Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen 🍰at the British Grand Prix, further underlining the hype around him. 

The 23-year-old Briton led the opening five laps at Silverstone after passing Verstappen at the start, before impressively fending off Mercedes’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton in the closing stages, despite bein𝐆g on a set of cold hard tyres. 

Norris has already caught the eye with several♕ impressive displays since making his꧅ F1 debut in 2019, including outperforming Ricciardo during their two-year spell as teammates at McLaren.  

Ricciardo is on༒e of only two drivers on the F1 grid (the other being Carlos Sainz) to have gone head-to-head with both 𒆙Norris and Verstappen in the same machinery.

Asked how the two compare, Ricciardo told ltxcn.top♑: “There’s no doubt that Lando is extremely good. 

“I think it’s one of those ones where he’s certainly, at least what I felt the car was capable of, he was always gettin♕g the maximum out of it. Something obviously I struggled to do at McLarꦿen. 

“So I look at that and I’m like ‘ok, this kid is maximising everything he🔥’s got’. Most times it would tr♔anslate. 

“If he went to a top team it should translate and he goes again to the level of the car. I’m su🍬re he would be quick in a top team. I don’t ha🌟ve any doubt about that. I think he’s proven himself. 

“What Max is doing now is phenomenal, and it’s like what Lewis did, can you win week-in, week-out regularly and can you handle that pressuꦡre and the rest of it? 

“I hope for him he one day gets the chance to be in a car that can fight forꦫ wins. But do I think that he can’t handle that? No. I’m sure he can. Until we win… We all believe we can do it, but you gotta do it… But I think he’s a phenomenal talent. 

“Comparing him to Max, it’s hard because did Lando put in some amazing quali laps? Absolutely. Were they a𝓰s good as anyone on the grid? Probably. But obviously Max has done that as well. 

“I think there have been days where he obviously looks as good. But to draw a like for like💟 comparison, it’s tough. But I think he’s very, very good.” 

And ei🐻ght-time grand prix winner Ricciardo is convinced Norris has what it takes to become a world champion. 

“I think you’ll know when he gets his first win,” he explained. “Once he crosses that, or climbs that mountain, I think a lot of people will be like ‘ok, this kid ca෴n go all the way’. 

“Obviꦰously he hasn’t got the win yet but h📖e’s young, I think he’s still going to learn and keep growing, maturing. So I have no reason to say he won’t. 

“It’s just unless he never gets a winning car - that’s the only thing that will probably stop him. I think he’s gotജ all the ability to do it.”
