One of the hottest names in the Formula 1 driver market will undoubtedly be Lando Norris, who is highly regarded by Scuderia Ferrari and Red Bull and has a contract expiring in 2025.
In recent days, there has been talk of a possible contact between Helmut Marko and the manager of the British driver during the Silverstone F1 weekend. The team that is dominating the 2023 Formula 1 championship is indeed exploring alternatives to Sergio Perez, who has appeared to be off form in recent weeks. “There are no valid alternatives,” Helmut Marko recently stated, ruling out a potential lineup change during this season.
In this perspective, the rumors reported by journalist Joe Saward could set off a domino effect of transfers that could revolutionize the Formula 1 grid. “Lando Norris and Alex Albon were at the center of several discussions during the Silverstone weekend,” writes Joe Saward in a recent article published on his blog. “Both seem to be highly appreciated by the top teams.”
“Some believe that Lando Norris already has some sort of pre-contract with Ferrari. I’m not sure if it would be the right choice for his career, given the current conditions of the Italian team, but the same could be said if he were to go to Red Bull and find himself having to compete against Max Verstappen.”

During the summer break, there may be updates on the lineup of the Ferrari team for the next season, although Fred Vasseur has repeatedly emphasized that it is not a priority at the moment. “At this point, I would say that Carlos Sainz will go to Audi in 2025,” Joe Saward continues. “As for Charles Leclerc, some believe that Mercedes is trying to convince him. It’s nothing certain, just rumors for now.” – the Formula 1 journalist pointed out.
