When Lewis Hamilton calls it a day in the F1, Briton would not be disappointed to see that their country’s legacy will be carried upon by two young drivers, George Russell and Lando Norris. The latter finished at second place in the 2018 F2 championship while George took home the title. 

Both are British, in their early 20s and highly-rated drivers. So, the natural tendency for people is to compare and pit them against each other. While some can feel the pressure in the face of these comparisons, Lando is not bothered by them. 

The two are seemingly good friends, having struggled through the junior categories together and being in the same age group. In a recent interview Lando Norris spoke about his thought on George Russell and his expectation from the latter in Bahrain in 2021 season opener.

“He’s a strong guy and, I think, everyone, was gutted for him, the one race that he did with Mercedes. He was also lucky to get that opportunity and he’ll maximize everything he has with Williams,” said Norris. 

Lando was speaking in an interview with Sky Sports reporter, Craig Slater. He is himself back in Bahrain for pre-season testing with McLaren. 

“Hopefully, we can have some nice battles this year and hopefully, we are ahead. I am sure that there are going to be some little battles along the way, and I look forward to them.” 

“Being compared to George isn’t a bad thing in my opinion, and I know how good of a driver he is. Hopefully, we two have a future in Formula 1 together.”
