Lando Norris: “Matching Hamilton records unlikely”

Lando Norris isn’t prepared to say that matching Lewis Hamilton’s Formula 1 records is “impossible”. Norris is impressing in his rookie season with McLaren. Asked by GrandPrix247.com if he could see himself matching Hamilton’s achievements, Norris said: “Not really, he joined McLaren when they were in a very different way. They could win races, now we can’t… Not yet! So it’s incomparable. “As much as one day I’d love to be able to achieve what he has, people are always in different situations in life. I’m in a different situation to what he was, so I’m not saying it’s impossible but it’s just incomparable, basically. “It’s weird thinking again how far away F1 would ever be and then thinking straight to now ‘I’m in Formula 1’ not really racing against Lewis, but we’re on the same track. In Austria, we did fight very briefly, which was cool. Hopefully, I can do more of it! It’s cool because it’s not something I believed I could really do, then getting the opportunity now and thinking how amazing it was to maybe one day race them, and now here I am with McLaren.”
