When Lando Norris signed a contract extension with McLaren, he committed his future to the team for foreseeable future.
The Briton was subject to a few rumours that he might make the switch to Red Bull, after both Team Principal Christian Horner and team advisor Helmut Marko were impressed last season.
With his committing his long term future to McLaren, we asked RacingNews365 readers to tell us whether they think he has the potential to win a World Championship with the outfit.
Norris has the unwanted record of most podiums in F1 without a win (11 shared with Nick Heidfeld), but their uptake in form could lead to a change this year if they continue to show signs of catching up to the big teams.
Here is what our readers think about whether he can bring championships back to McLaren, after they have not won a Drivers' Championship since the 2008 season with Lewis Hamilton.
