Reflecting on this season, Norris said in the pre-race FIA press conference: “Yeah, I think going into a season with a mindset of let's try and win it, it's a very different mindset to what we had this year. It's been a different story throughout the season. While Norris thinks he wasn't ready to contend with Verstappen at the start of the season, the 25-year-old feels he's now performing closer to a level required to take it to the Red Bull driver.
Norris acknowledged the challenge of going up against a driver of Verstappen’s calibre, hailing him as “one of the best drivers ever in Formula 1”.
