On the performance of the two drivers in the year just ended, team principal Zak Brown also expressed himself in no uncertain terms.

"I think we have the strongest pair of drivers on the Formula 1 grid. Many agree that Oscar has been the revelation in his rookie season and he has already shown that he can fight with the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. It was unfortunate that he was unable to get on the podium at Silverstone, due to the Safety Car, but he got his first podium at Suzuka, before the big win in the Qatar Sprint, showing exceptional talent" debuted the Californian as quoted in "FormulaPassion".

"The most important moment for me è was the home race at Silverstone, when Lando è took the lead at the start, with Oscar following close behind. Hearing the British fans explode from the grandstands è was a very electrifying moment. Norris was at his best in 2023, showing extraordinary pace. He can often be hard on himself when he makes a mistake, but his seven podiums are a testament to his speed and determination. The first victory for him è only a matter of time" Zak Brown&quoted.
