F1: Norris says Verstappen is one of the best ever in F1

Lando Norris, in his third year in the sport, is looking a pretty complete driver now, but he admits he is still learning and has suggested that if he was in a real wheel-to-wheel fight with Max Verstappen and battling for championships the Dutchman may still have the edge just because of the extra experience he has, as well as the raw, natural talent he possesses:

“There are just different scenarios and situations where experience comes into play,” Norris said to Sky Sports F1.

“You think ‘maybe he would have the upper hand on me in that scenario’ and I believe he is one of the best drivers ever in Formula 1. I think he has proven that since he joined when he was 16 or 17 years old.”
