Lando Norris is "as good as anyone" racing in Formula 1 right now, according to his team boss Zak Brown.
The Brit is only 23 years old but already has several years of experience in F1. More than that, he has been largely impressive during his first few years racing in the sport and is regarded by many as a future champion if given a car capable of competing for the title.
McLaren chief executive Brown has long been aware of Norris' talent. Before he made his F1 debut, he took part in the 24 Hours of Daytona as a teenager, driving alongside Fernando Alonso and fellow Brit Phil Hanson in a United Autosports entry.
