On the same day as the Indianapolis 500, the McLaren driver raced in the Canadian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
He failed to finish the Formula 1 race in Montreal due to a gearbox failure.<\/p>\n
Afterwards, he travelled to Indianapolis where he met up with former McLaren teammate Daniel Ricciardo and Indianapolis 500 finisher Conor Daly.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Norris visited McLaren\u2019s Indianapolis headquarters, cut a lap of the speedway with McLaren\u2019s IndyCar team principal Tony Kanaan in a Corvette, congratulated winner Felix Rosenqvist, and took a tour of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum with Roger Penske.<\/p>\n
Norris spoke with media members at the track where he revealed his admiration for the Indianapolis 500.<\/p>\n
Asked whether he had any interest in one day doing the Indianapolis 500, Norris was open to the idea.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never know. You never know. I don\u2019t want to say no,\u201d said Norris.<\/p>\n
\u201cI certainly want to try things outside of Formula 1. I love Formula 1 more than anything but at the same time, I love everything.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love bikes, I love rally, I love IndyCar \u2013 just all racing in general.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether it is the Indy 500 or just IndyCar in general.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Indianapolis 500 is one leg of motorsport\u2019s Triple Crown, which includes the Monaco Grand Prix and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/p>\n
McLaren has teams at Indianapolis and Monaco and will soon have a contender at Le Mans.<\/p>\n
Norris said that while has never had an express interest in trying to achieve the Triple Crown, he is leaving the door wide open to having a crack having already won the Monaco leg.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s obviously part of the Triple Crown for McLaren as well,\u201d said Norris.<\/p>\n
\u201cI won Monaco, which is part one done. Obviously got a championship now under my belt. There are two more to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never had a thought about trying to achieve the Triple Crown, but obviously I\u2019ve ticked one of the boxes already.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I\u2019ve come here. It\u2019s a warm-up for it all.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeeing Fernando attempt it and things like that always makes it more inviting.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you never know.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would want to experience it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe not that actual race at the minute, but just a lap around here in an IndyCar would be pretty gnarly \u2014 maybe one day.\u201d<\/p>\n

McLaren driver Lando Norris inspects the Borg Warner Trophy.<\/p>\n
Norris lamented not being able to watch Monday\u2019s race as it clashed with his own commitments.<\/p>\n
The Brit said he was in awe of the race and Rosenqvist for winning one of motorsport\u2019s most prized trophies.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t image, in some ways, but I can imagine just how amazing it is for Felix right now,\u201d said Norris.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously it\u2019s the day after, but it\u2019s just as special. The trophy just looks nuts. It\u2019s crazy how big it is. It\u2019s almost as big as Felix. It\u2019s cool.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just love when you see the joy on someone\u2019s face.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know how much goes into achieving something like that, how hard you\u2019ve got to try, and even when you feel like you can drive perfectly here, sometimes it can still not be your day.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just need things to go right. Obviously he timed it to perfection by two hundredths of a second.\u201d<\/p>\n
Norris will continue his season on June 5-7 at the Monaco Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
He sits fifth in the standings on 58 points. The drivers\u2019 championship is led by Kimi Antonelli on 131 points with Mercedes teammate George Russell second on 88 points.<\/p>\n
