F1 world champion Lando Norris eyes future Le Mans 24 Hours drive amid McLaren entry
Lando Norris, the Formula 1 world champion, is looking forward to potentially competing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the future, inspired by McLaren’s entry into the World Endurance Championship. McLaren is set to race in the WEC next year and participate in the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans with their newly unveiled Hypercar. As the only team to achieve motorsport’s triple crown, McLaren has its eyes set on adding more prestigious victories to its name. Norris, who expressed his interest in competing at Le Mans before, envisions taking on the endurance challenge with McLaren after securing his first F1 title last year. While McLaren has confirmed Mikkel Jensen as a driver for 2027, discussions about a potential Le Mans involvement with Norris and his teammate Oscar Piastri have been held by McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown. Despite the talks of future endeavors, Norris is currently focused on defending his F1 title and improving his performance following a challenging start to the season.
