Max Verstappen has revealed that he once "invited" Lando Norris to be his team-mate at Red Bull.
"I've spent, of course, quite a lot of moments with Lando before," Verstappen said. "So when I was already winning and he wasn't, I always told him, 'Your time will come. Stick to the process. I think you're in a good team environment'.
"I happily invited him also to be my team-mate at the time, if you want to win, you can come here [to Red Bull] as well.
"[...] We are friends now, we are not best friends, it's not like I call him day to day. Both of us have our own best friends, that's how you grow up, right? But we are friends. I have a lot of respect for him."
