Now that Lando Norris has signed a new contract at McLaren, the recent Red Bull rumors can be consigned to the wastebasket (for now). In fact, it is not even surprising that Norris is abandoning Red Bull for now and expressing his confidence in McLaren.
Just one day after Ferrari announced a contract extension with Charles Leclerc, McLaren also confirmed a new deal with Lando Norris, keeping him at the team beyond 2025. Despite rumors linking Norris to Red Bull, he has chosen to remain with McLaren due to the team’s recent improvements and his belief in their ability to compete for wins. Norris expressed his confidence in his own skills and his excitement to continue working hard in the coming years. While Norris may have to contend with teammate Oscar Piastri in the future, for now, he is McLaren’s main hope for victories and championships.
