Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton "look forward" to racing each other in the future
F1 News
Lando Norris is hoping that Lewis Hamilton will continue racing in Formula 1 so that the two can race each other. At the Austrian Grand Prix, the two went wheel-to-wheel and Norris stood up to the test. The McLaren driver wants more opportunities to prove himself against the best.
“That’s something I would like, to be able to fight against Lewis,” Norris told Sky Sports News.
“A five-time world champion, possibly six this year. But it’s a good two years before we’re having a chance to fight them.
“I’m sure he’s probably going to stick around especially when he’s got chances of winning championships and making history.
“It’s something I would look forward to, being able to race him.”
Norris has had a really impressive debut season in Formula 1 and will hope to continue to improve and fight at the top of the grid before too long.
Hamilton is equally as excited to race the youngsters and looks set to stay in the sport for a while.
“Lando’s progression is incredibly impressive,” said Hamilton.
“To be so young in such an early phase, he’s coming in and keeping a level head and delivering on weekends, also up against a driver who’s got more experience than him.”
“I’m personally excited to continue to watch these two [Norris and Russell] grow. I do hope that we get to do some racing together.”
The British representation at the top flight of motorsport is incredible and it looks likely that another British World Champion is set to become a reality in the future.
