Over the last two seasons, Norrꦆis has emerged as one of F1’s top talents, consistently extracting the most from his machinery.

His performances ultimately made 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Daniel Ricciardo look ordinary, with McLaren deciding to replace the Australian for F1 2023.

Hakkinen - who won the 1998 and 1999 F1 world titles - rates Norris among the 🍌very best on the grid, alongside Verstappen and Charles Leclerc.

Speaking to Unibet International, he said: “A very quick driver, he's achieved a lot, or rathꦺer he's shown convincing results cons𒈔istently.

“He's s🔜uper-talented, no question about it. He's on the same level as Leclerc, Verstap🅷pen and Sainz. He's on a very high level speed-wise.”

Like in 2022, McLaren started this season ꦬin abysmal fashion, failing to finish inside the top 10.

Norris finished well down the field due to a recurring technical issue, while on his F1 debut, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri was forced out of the race early on.

The Finn believes McLaren need “a cou🍸ple more years” to tu🔴rn things around in terms of their performance.

“I don't think McLaren has very🌠 hi🍰gh expectations this year,” he added.

“They know their development department, and their sponsor🅠s and partners are world-class technology giants. McLaren 🐠has their support but the team knows they aren't quite there yet. The result need a couple more years.

“They are in it for the long run and have good partners. Like I said, there might be some results this year but I think the true performance will be seen in a couple of years.🎀”
