#2 Lando Norris

A one
A one for the future

Now Lando Norris has been a name hanging around in the paddocks for the past few months as the Briton is tipped to be a future star Formula One star. Norris is currently McLaren's reserve driver and is also racing in the Formula 2 series, the second tier below F1.

The 18-year-old's build-up is nearly taking us back prior to the 2007 F1 world championship when a young Lewis Hamilton set foot on the grid.

Hours after Alonso's retirement announcement, Norris tweeted a Batman GIF with the caption 'Hmm! Interesting!'.

With Alonso departing and Vandoorne's future at McLaren looking uncertain, then this might just be the right time for Norris to knock on Zak Brown's door.
