But t♈eam principal Horner has admitted there are several drivers outside of the Red Bull family that ☂the team are keeping tabs on.
One of those is Norris, Horner conceded, while his McLaren teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri was also rumoured to be on Red Bull’s wish list but the impressive rookie has just sigꦍned a nওew deal running until the end of 2026.
Norris, whose contract expires at the end 💛of ꩲ2025, has long been linked with Red Bull and is known to have held talks with the Milton Keynes-based outfit prior to committing to McLaren.
"Lando's a great driver. He's a big talent, big personality and of𒁃 course he's one of those d🐓rivers that you keep an eye on,” Horner told Sky Sports News.
"But there's many drivers that you keep an eye on as we🅷ll. There's a generation of drivers out there at the moment that have got a huge amount of talent.
"Now, being Max's team-mate is never going to be easy and some drivers may be up for that challenge, some may not be. But, of course, as well as the drivers we have in🔯-house we keep an eye on all the driver market.
"As you can imagine, there's quite a bit of interest from certꦏain sectors about driving a Red Bull car.”
Horner said Re💝d Bull want the “best two drivers we can possibly field”🅺 and confirmed the team will look outside of their own pool of drivers if needed.
“Max is operating at such a level that his co💮nfidence, his commitment, his talent is absolute at the momenꦗt and it's difficult to envisage somebody beating him in the same equipment,” he added.
“But there's some great talent out there and of course what we want 🐽is the best two drivers we can possibly field.
"So ideally that will come from within the talent pool that we have, and if we🅰 don't believe there's that capability we will look outside 🔯of that as to who's available."
