Lando Norris has already made his feelings clear on the Lewis Hamilton vs Max Verstappen F1 GOAT debate

McLaren star Lando Norris was once asked to pick between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.

Over the years, we have seen many Formula 1 drivers who will forever be etched in the sport's history books.

British star Hamilton is often regarded as the GOAT of F1, having won a record-equalling seven world championships so far in his career.

Meanwhile, Dutchman Verstappen entered the GOAT debate after winning four consecutive world titles from 2021 to 2024.

Apart from the above-mentioned duo, the likes of Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna, Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso are also in the conversation.

Back in 2022, while speaking to ESPN, Norris was asked to pick between Hamilton and Verstappen.

The 25-year-old simply said: "Verstappen."

Then-McLaren teammate Daniel Ricciardo agreed as he also picked Verstappen over Hamilton.

The pair were also asked to pick between F1 legends Schumacher and Senna, both opted for the latter.

During an interview with GQ Sports in 2024, Hamilton was asked: "Is Lewis Hamilton the GOAT?"

In response, the 40-year-old said: "I mean I know what I am. But that’s something I’ll continue to try and show you."

Prior to the 2025 season, Hamilton made a high-profile move from Mercedes to Ferrari.

However, it has been a tough start for the Brit as he continues to struggle to adapt to the Ferrari.

So far this season, Hamilton has collected 63 points, 16 behind teammate Charles Leclerc.

Speaking ahead of this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, Hamilton was asked about his relationship with race engineer Riccardo Adami due to apparent tensions during the Monaco race.

He said: "Our relationship is great. No problems. We’re constantly learning more and more about each other. We’re constantly adapting to the way both of us like to work. He’s worked with lots of different drivers before.

"We don’t have any problems whatsoever. There’s a lot of speculation. I mean, most of it is BS. Ultimately, we have a great relationship. He’s been amazing to work with. He’s a great guy, working so hard, we both are, and we don’t always get it right every weekend."

Hamilton added: "Do we have disagreements? Like everyone does in relationships, but we work through them. We’re both in it together. We both want to win a championship together. We’re both working towards lifting the team up.

"So it’s just all noise, and we don’t really pay any attention to it. So, you know, it can continue if you want, but it doesn’t make any difference to all the jobs that we’re trying to do."
