Norris quickly became the talk of the F1 town with his heroics in the British GP.

He said, “If there’s any time to believe we’re getting close to winning races, it’s now!”

The McLaren man is possibly trying to reverse the poaching efforts by threatening Red Bull’s star man. After all, someone is needed to end Verstappen’s reign or else he will end up winning all the remaining races in the current campaign & head into 2024 on another level, unchallenged & invincible!
