Lando Norris didn’t mince his words when asked whether he has any sympathy for current teammate Daniel Ricciardo’s struggles, adding that “people will probably hate me” for his answer.
“I hate to say it, but I would say no,” the rising star said Thursday. “People will probably hate me for saying it, but it’s difficult because I never know if I might encounter that in the future with this car or with a different team or whatever, so I never want to contradict myself going into the future, but I’ve just got to focus on my driving.”
McLaren Racing and Ricciardo “mutually agreed” for him to leave at the end of the season, a year before his contract was set to expire.
