Norris does have a 2018-2019 "Top Prospects" card during his time in F2 that pre-dates the Topps 2020 card. The F2 card can be found fairly cheap on ebay, but doesn't seem to have gained much traction at all in term of collector desirability. I know pretty much nothing about the "Top Prospects" card, where it was produced, how it was distributed, etc.
I had not pursued any Norris cards, because I never really thought he was going to win an F1 title.

Verstappen, who is still easily the best driver on the circuit, really gave him and Piastri a run for their money at the end.
I'd guess this is a one and done for Norris. I think Piastri laps him next year, and Verstappen keeps on making runs unless he somehow ends up in a really shitty car.
Never even seen those "Top Prospects" cards until now. Maybe they came from somewhere legitimate, but I'm dubious of even the time frame they are listed for, unless I see some additional evidence.
Too many of these fantasy/borders type sets, are also pre-dated, years before they were actually made up and thrown into the market. Something fishy about those, especially looking at the driver selection of the ones listed on Ebay.
