Even if Lando Norris does choose to leave McLaren, Zak Brown is confident he will still have a future Formula 1 world champion on the books.
Norris is tied down until the end of 2025 thanks to a new deal he signed before the start of last season. But the progress made by McLaren has stalled since then and the team has been overtaken by some rivals in the push towards the front of the grid.
Given Norris' status among the F1 drivers, that has led to plenty of speculation over his future. That was only fuelled by the admission that he had spoken with Christian Horner about the possibility of him joining Red Bull.
