Norris believes his performance in China, where he held off Sergio Perez and prevented a Red Bull one-two finish, is evidence that he can finally end that barren run. “I have already said it, I don’t need any more confidence. There’s more evidence [from China],” Norris told Sky Sports F1.
“I said it at the beginning of the year that I think we can fight against Red Bull and we’ll be able to get a win this year. “It’s not going to come easy. I don’t think it will come for a while, but right day, right time, good conditions, things which suit our car a little bit more – I have the faith in the team and I have the faith in my ability to be able to pull it off.
“But it does need to be right place, right time. I don’t think on average we’re close enough for the time being. But I want to believe.”
