Norris, who is one of the hottest prospects on the F1 grid, turned in a brilliant performance to finish second behind Red Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen at the British Gr♌and Prix, further underlining the hype around him. 

The 23-year-old Briton led the opening five laps at Silverstone after passing Verstappen at the start, before impressively fending off Mercedes’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton in the closing stages, despite beꦍi𒉰ng on a set of cold hard tyres. 

Norris has already caught the eye with several impressive displays since making his F1 debut in 2019, including outperforming Ricciardo🅰 during their two-year spell as teammates at McLaren.  

Ricciardo is one of only two drivers on the F1 grid (the other being Carlos Sainz) to have gone head-to-head with both ♌Norris and Verstappen in the same machinery.

Asked how the two compare, Ricciardo told mahbx.com: “There’s no doubt that Lando is extremely good.💛&♏nbsp;

“I think it’s꧋ one of those ones where he’s certainly, at least what I felt the car was capable of, he was always getting the maximum out of it. Something obviously I struggled to do at McLaren. 

“So I l🅠ook at that and I’m like ‘ok, this kid is maximising everything he’s got’. Most times it would translate. 

“If he went to a top team it should translate and he goes again to the level of the car. I’m sure 🐼he would be quick in a top team. I don’t have any doubt about that. I thin💮k he’s proven himself. 

“What Max is doing now is phenomenal, and it’s like what Lewis did, can you win week-in, week-out regularly and can you handle t💖hat pressure and theꩲ rest of it? 

“I hope for him he one day gets the chaꦗnce to be in a car that can fight for wins. But do I think that he can’t handle that? No. I’m sure he can. Until we win… We all believe we can do it, but you 🉐gotta do it… But I think he’s a phenomenal talent. 

“Comparing him to Max, it’s hard because did Lando put in some amazing quali laps? Absolutely. We🌳re they as good as anyone on the grid? Probably. But obviously 🌄Max has done that as well. 

“I think there have been days where he obviously looks as 🅺good. But to draw a like for like comparison, it’s tough. But I think he’s very, very good.” 

And eight-time grand prix winಞner Riccia﷽rdo is convinced Norris has what it takes to become a world champion. 

“I think you’ll know when he gets his first win,” he explained. “Once he crosses that, or climbs that mountain, I think a lot of people will be like ‘ok, this kid can go all t🌞he way’. 

“Obviously he hasn’t got the win yet but he’s young, I think he’s still going to learn and keep growing, maturing. So I have no reason to say he wo😼n’t. 

“It’s just unless he never gets a winning car - 🐟that’s the only thing that will probably sto🔯p him. I think he’s got all the ability to do it.”
