Liberty Media asked Red Bull to sign a competitive driver alongside Max Verstappen for the upcoming season. So there are at least two drivers challenging for the title. Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris came up as the two potential names. Regardless, Zak Brown bluntly reacted to astonishing speculation after Norris’ wild revelation to partner Verstappen at Red Bull. But what did Zak Brown say?

Lando Norris has been linked to a Red Bull move for some time now. However, the Brit recently revealed how he gets along well with Max Verstappen and would like to be his teammate in the future. Even Verstappen suggested that Lando Norris and he talk about having the Briton as his teammates. Nonetheless, the speculation of this move still seems a far-fetched dream.

Zak Brown, however, has come out with a blunt statement and has reacted to the speculations of Norris moving to Red Bull. Brown explained how Norris is contracted to McLaren until 2025 and there’s no release clause in the contract. According to Motorsport-Total, Zak Brown said, “Lando will drive at McLaren until 2025.

Lando Norris revealed when he thought about moving away from McLaren

McLaren had a tough couple of years after the 2020 season. Even since the team had a downward trajectory. But now they’re arguably the second fastest car. All thanks to the new upgrades. Lando Norris revealed how he thought about moving teams when things weren’t going the team’s way but was sure of sticking with the team now.

According to SkySports.com, Norris said, “But in the back of my mind, there’s that impatient game of, ‘do I stick it out for another few years, or is it time to look at something different? But the more we achieve things like we have done over the past few weeks, the more I’m very confident with the decision I made to stay until 2025, and the more confident I am that we can achieve our goals together in the future.”
