Lando Norris had the chance to join Max Verstappen at Red Bull before committing to McLaren, the racer has revealed.
Norris signed a new deal with his current team earlier this year. It means the 22-year-old will remain with the Woking-based outfit until at least the end of the 2025 season, making his future in Formula 1 more secure than most others on the grid.
One of the only drivers whose own deal runs for longer is Verstappen, who is committed to Red Bull until 2028. But instead of being regarded as potential future title rivals, they may well have been team-mates had Norris decided against signing that new deal with McLaren.
