Will he replace Hamilton? Norris flirts with Ferrari
Lando Norris has hinted at a possible move to Ferrari in the future. The McLaren driver aims to clinch the world championship title with his current team, but hasn't ruled out a departure down the line.
Details: Ahead of the 2025 championship season, Norris gave an interview to NBC News where he shared his thoughts on the upcoming season. During the conversation, he was asked an unexpected question: which team would he like to join if McLaren suddenly left Formula 1?
Quote: "I know exactly where I'd like to go. It's a team that every driver dreams of joining at some stage in their career. But I'm very happy at McLaren. This team brought me to Formula 1, and I've spent almost my entire career here. I want to stay here for many more years. I'm proud to wear orange and continue the fight."
It is evident that Norris was referring to Ferrari—the most decorated and legendary team in Formula 1 history. It's precisely its prestige that attracted Lewis Hamilton, who decided to move to Scuderia this year after 12 seasons with Mercedes.
