Talking to the media in January, Norris said, “We still speak to each other every now and then. I guess maybe not as often or as closely as we were [in the] past couple of years. But no, we’re still mates, we still got along.”

“As much as the rivalry’s probably increased, and he wants to beat me and I want to beat him, and [the] teams want to beat each other, we still just have a lot of respect for each other and who we are as drivers and so on. “

Norris also shared that the two may not get the time to hang out and spend as much time as they did before, however, they still find the time to play golf now and then!
