Was Lando Norris right to sign a new multi-year McLaren F1 deal? Peter Windsor doesn't think so.
McLaren announced Norris’ new multi-year deal just a week beforelocked in as their drivers until at the end of 2026 at the earliest, while ensuring their prized assets are under contract at Woking.
Speaking on his personal YouTube channel, Windsor - who was team manager for Williams and Ferrari in the past - scrutinised Norris’ decision to sign another new deal with McLaren so hastily. “It was obvious that McLaren would want to keep him because Zak Brown’s been supporting him and he’s been part of the Zak Brown thing going back to Formula 3, so that was never going to go away. But there were potentially going to be options at Mercedes, Ferrari and maybe Red Bull.
“He’s got a nice deal with McLaren, but he’s still got Oscar Piastri – who isn’t slow – in the other car and he’s now got no chance of getting the Mercedes drive or the Red Bull drive.”Windsor is convinced Red Bull will opt to sign“It’s going to go to Alex Albon. If you’re Lando Norris, you’re thinking: ‘I’m better than Albon, surely, and it looks like he’s going to get the Red Bull drive,” he added.
