McLaren has secured the long-term commitment of its star driver, Lando Norris, announcing a significant contract extension that will keep the British racer with the team through at least the end of the 2030 Formula 1 season. The deal includes provisions for a further extension beyond that date, potentially allowing Norris to spend almost his entire F1 career with the iconic Woking-based outfit.
Norris, who has been a part of the McLaren family since joining their young driver program in 2017, has steadily risen through the ranks. He served as a test and reserve driver before securing the main race seat in 2019. Since then, he has become a pivotal figure for McLaren, culminating in his 2025 World Championship victory.
This new agreement underscores the strong partnership between Norris and McLaren. If he fulfills the entire duration of his new contract, he will have completed 12 consecutive seasons with the team. His recent form, including victories in the last two races of the current season, highlights his continued importance and success with McLaren.
