signing a new contract that will keep him at McLaren until at least the end of 2030 was 'quite an easy yes for me'.

Norris revealed that while there was "some interest from elsewhere," he had "no desire to go anywhere else" and did not even consider looking at other teams before deciding to extend his stay. He emphasized the importance of the relationships he has built within McLaren, particularly with CEO Zak Brown and team principal Andrea Stella, and their shared history.

“

There was some interest from elsewhere, but I don't want to go anywhere. I don't want to be with another team. I don't want to spend time with other people.

Having joined McLaren for his F1 debut in 2019, Norris has experienced the team's struggles and subsequent resurgence. He believes the bond formed during those challenging years, culminating in consecutive constructors' championships in 2024 and 2025 and his own drivers' title last year, is a key factor in his loyalty. "They didn't give up on me and I didn't give up on them," he stated.

“

That's why it really was probably one of the easiest decisions I've made since being in Formula 1.

Despite a challenging start to the current season due to new regulations, Norris sees it as a testament to McLaren's resilience and his commitment. He finds enjoyment in working through difficult moments with the team, stating that such situations only strengthen his resolve to stay. "It makes me want to stick with the people that I am with because I believe we can fight back through most circumstances," he added.

“

The fact I stuck it through with them and then we went on to obviously have success certainly makes me feel like I don't want to... they didn't give up on me and I didn't give up on them.
