Last year Norris committed to McLaren by signing a new long-term ඣdeal running until the end of the 2025 season, but that hasn’t stopped speculation sur🐟rounding his future ramping up amid the team’s dreadful start to F1 2023. 

The 23-year-old British is one of the hottest prospects on the F1 grid and has stressed he still has faith in McLaren’s project to return🍬 to winning ways despite𒁃 their recent woes. 

Norris has been linked with the likes of Red Bull, 🍬Mercedes and Ferrari but Brown has downplayed the prospect he could leave McLaren early.🅷 

"He has zero exit clauses," McLaren Racing CEO Brown toldไ Sky Sp⛄orts F1. 

"Ultimately, when his contract is next up, if we are not perfꦛorming and he doesn't feel he can win races and can compete forಌ the championship, then I think anybody, driver or team member for that matter [would be considering leaving], we are all here to win.

"He has got a contract with us and, most importantly, he is very happy here and he🥀 sees the progress that we are making, and he is a team player.

"So, even contracts aside, it is about that he is in a happy environme𝓰nt, he is along for the journey, and we have got 🍌some time to prove to him that we are going to give him a car capable of winning.

"Right now it is pretty easy but if we are sitting here in two years' time and his contract is nearing the end, then it is a different situation if we are not performing and I would understand him going 'I need to get into a winning race ca✱r’.

"But, right now, I think we are all focused on working to🗹gether to get that car so I think it is too early to be worried about anything other than having a good weekend."
