Norris is one of F1’s hottest talents, with the British driver consistently linked with a switch to Red Bull alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen.

However, McLaren’s mid-season resurgence in F1 2023 has 💦made it more likely that he will want to stay with the team beyond next year.

Speaking to Speedcafe, Brown conceded that Norris is understand⭕ably on the top of every F1 team’s lists given his p🐠erformances in recent seasons.

“Yeah, I would say next priority,” he said.

“There ar🌠e a lot of priorities, and certainly with Lando we've got some time, but he is a driver that everybody up and down the pit lane w🐎ants.

“How much longer is Lewis going? What are Mercedes go🐟ing to do? How much longer has Sergio [Perez] got?

“Fo꧟r sure, the three other big teams probably don't hav🥂e visibility as to their driver line-up beyond '25.

“And I 🎃think with how Lando has performe💙d, he would be top of everyone's list.”

With the new engine regulations coming into play in 2026🤪, Brown believes McLaren 🗹is the best team for Norris to be at to capitalise on them.

“I think we're in a great pla꧟ce with Lando,” he added.

“I think '26 is a great opportunity for everyone to reset, and ther🐼e is nothing we don't have going into '26 that any of the other teams have.

“He's very comfortable in the environment, with his team-mate. I think as you go down and look at who ཧcan get it done in '2💛6, there are four or five teams that you can say can get it done, and we will be one of those.”
