The success enjoyed by George Russell in his first year as a Mercedes driver can push Lando Norris on to new heights of his own.
That is the view of his McLaren team boss Zak Brown, who only has good things to say about the young Brit. Norris has a good amount of Formula 1 experience under his belt now despite only being 23 years old, and will be the senior driver at the team this year next to rookie Oscar Piastri.
McLaren have made little secret of their plans to build their future around the Brit. Chief executive Brown said as much when he recently referred to Norris as their "franchise driver".
