Asked if he thinks McLaren can give him a car to compete for wins and maybe even the title in 2024, Norris replied: "For us to go from where we were in Bahrain to getting close and talking about fighting a Red Bull I think are very good signs for us.&𝔍nbsp;
“And we knowꦕ we still have plenty more things to come next year. So I'm excited. Having that as a thought, it's 🉐quite a faraway thought.
“I don't want to think of that just now, there's no p𝕴oint thinking of it until next year but I'll be optimistic and I believe we can do it as a team.”

"I've just been just saying to Max, since we bought this upgrade♛ to Austria, I've been the second highest scoring driver on the grid,” Norris said.
“I think we've been the second highest scoring team, potentially. Of course, we've taken some massive steps forward and at𝐆 the same time, considering we're talking about fighting the Red Bull, I think it's still a very, very good thing, for what we've achieved this year.
"We're talking about one of the best drivers iᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚn Formula 1 ever, in one of the most dominating cars and obviously it's a pairing and things have to go well together, but we're talking about a guy who's scored 17 [wins] and of the most dominated years in Formula 1 history.”
