Norris and Hamilton went head-to-head on-track at ౠthe last race in Austria, with the McLaren driver ultimately coming out on top. 

Hamilton has previously been complimentary about Norris’ driving📖 talents, praising him midway through the 2021 Austrian Grand Prix over team radio.

Sp🌱eaking following the launch of McLaren’s chrome livery for the British Grand 🦋Prix, Norris shared insight into his relationship with Hamilton and how “over the last couple of months we have been getting to know each other a bit more”.

“It's a pretty cool thing," Norris told the . “I have so much 🦩respect for him and what he's🧜 been able to achieve in F1.

“He's part of the reason I'm ꦫan F1 driver, so it's weird thinking I'm now racing against him.ಌ”

Norris admitted that he’s try🥀ing to ‘pick the brain’ of Hamilton and learn from him albeit in a more discreet manner.

"I am not always the guy who asks a lot of questions to these kind of 💙people to get to know what they're like and what the🃏y think,” Norris added.

"I do it in a more subtle way and just try to understand how ꦏthey think and their thought processes and kind of understand wh♓at makes them special.

"I'm not always the most proactive in going forward and picking people's brains, which is maybe a better way of doing it, but it's just🀅 not who I am. 

"I'm just happy to spend time with people who are at the top of whatever sport they are in, people I have a huge amount of r꧑espect for.”
