Norris replacing Hartley could still happen:
"If there was an opportunity for Lando to gain experience then that’s something we would consider," Brown responded when asked last weekend in Montreal if he would be interested in loaning Norris to Toro Rosso this season.
"Lando is a McLaren driver. He has a bright future here, but we do not have an interest in letting Lando go anywhere on a long-term deal.
Like I posted earlier, I believe the issue Mclaren had with the arrangement was Toro Rosso wanted the loan deal to involve the 2019 season as well. That likely put Mclaren off taking into consideration that there are still question marks over their own driver line up for next year.
If they can keep Stoffel and Fernando for next year, then it could happen. But I feel Lando should complete the F2 season and try and win, meanwhile Hartley is given more time. if he doesn't improve, then Lando for 2019.
