Horner’s comments come after Norris’ over the Mexico City Grand Prix weekend, with the British driver saying he’d spoken to a number of teams including Red Bull: "It's more just I was coming to the end of my contract, and it wasn't like we [Red 🌠Bull and I] were talking heavily," Norris said. 

"I literally said, it was just, everyone always tries to speak to all teams at some point, so I spoke to th🐠em, I spoke to a few other people.

"A chat's a chat, it's not like, 'what we can do straight away?' Just keeping in touch, things like that, it's as simple as that sometimes. It was just coming to the end of the contract, you see what options aཧre available, you just kind of find out what's possible, what might be possible over the next few years.

"It wasn't just Red Bull. Every driver has ๊chats with a lot of the different teams on what could happen, and it's as simple as that basically."

Red Bull have reigning F1 champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen signed up until 2028, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez will remain wiꦡth the t൩eam until the end of 2024 at least.

However, Horner confirm♛ed that talks have taken place between Red Bul🐬l and Norris in the past.

“We’ve talked to Lando a couple of times over the years, but every time we’ve had a co๊nversation, he’s signed a contract with McLaren the next day,”

“He’s on a long-term contract with M🏅cLaren and it looks like he’s going to be there a few mo🌜re years.”

Outside of the top three teams, Norris has emerged since🅠 2021 as F1’s hottest talents.

Should Mercedes need a replacement for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton, or Red Bull want to upgrade on Perez, then Norris wouldও be theꦉ ideal candidate, particularly if McLaren aren’t able to close in on the top three teams.
