And despite Ricciardo’s struggles in the McLaren, Norris has now revealed that his former team-mate is someone who he looks up to.

“I think his experience and mentality, to me, was always crucial in helping me become a better person, a better driver.” he told the media.

“Daniel [Ricciardo] has always done a good job at hiding or just dealing with tough times.” Norris said.

“That’s something I really admired with what he’s done. I probably wouldn’t be able to look back and really be as happy as what he’s been in the past if I was in a similar position.

“So that’s something I really do admire and try to be more like when I go through tough times.”
