\u201cWe\u2019ve had a good amount of battles already,\u201d Norris told Sky Sports F1.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would love to race a bit more with Lewis.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, Ferrari struggled a lot more this year than I think everyone was expecting.<\/p>\n
\u201cLewis has proved himself to be probably the best of all time. Everyone knows if anyone can bounce back from difficult years, it\u2019s Mr Hamilton, and I would love to race against him more.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone has got an opportunity\u201d to beat Norris in 2026<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always a privilege that I get to race against someone who is the best in the world,\u201d he added, in the same Sky Sports interview.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have got a good amount of those guys; you have Fernando [Alonso], Lewis, Max [Verstappen].<\/p>\n
\u201cNext year, everyone\u2019s got an opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone\u2019s looking forward to it. People want to come to take my crown, and I want to try to retain it. And I look forward to the battle.<\/p>\n
