Asked if he thinks McLaren can give him a car to compete for wins and may💟be even the title in 2024, Norris replied: "For us to go from where we were in Bahrain to getting close and talking about fighting a Red Bull I think are very good signs for us.
“And we know we still have🐲 plenty more things to come next year. So I'm excited. Having that as a thought, it's quite a faraway thought.
“I don't want to think of that just now, there's no point thinking of it until next year but I'll be optimis🗹tic and I believe ღwe can do it as a team.”
McLaren’s impressive strides have seen them leapfrog Aston Martin into fourth place in the constructors’ championship, while Norris is just 31 points behind third-placed168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton in the drivers’ standings.
"I've just been just saying to Max, since we bought this upgrade to Austria, I've been th💙e second highest scoring driver on the grid,” Norris said.
“I think we've been the second highest scoring team, potentially. Of course, we've taken some massive st🌱eps forward and at the same time, considering we're༒ talking about fighting the Red Bull, I think it's still a very, very good thing, for what we've achieved this year.
"We're talking about one of the be💝st drivers in Formula 1 ever, in one of the most dominating cars and obviously it's a pairing and things have to go well together, but we're talking about a guy who's scored 17 [wins] and of the most dominated years in Formula 1 history.”
