The headlines were fuelled by Norris and McLaren team boss Andrea Stella questioning the champion's driving and talking about lost respect. "I get on really well with Lando," he said."We are fighting naturally for wins this year and I of course don't want that to ruin the friendship off track as well, because that's definitely not what it deserves."
"We like to race hard. We've done this for many years not only in Formula One, even online racing where we have a lot of fun together, and these things have to carry on because that's what we like to do and I think it's great for Formula One as well," said the Dutch driver."Of course he loves racing and he's just very passionate about it... he's fighting for a second potential win, I'm fighting for my 62nd win.
