McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown says it is up to the operation to show its credentials in order to retain
British driver Lando Norris joined McLaren as a junior in 2017 and moved up to a race seat in 2019. He has remained with the team ever since. Norris has been performing exceptionally well in recent years, scoring seven podium finishes in 2023. McLaren made significant improvements during the season, putting them in contention for top positions. Norris is currently under contract until 2025, and McLaren is confident in their ability to convince him to stay by providing a positive environment. McLaren’s focus is on creating the best working conditions for their employees and drivers, rather than trying to compete with other teams. McLaren also has driver Oscar Piastri under contract until 2026 and is committed to building a winning team through strong management, technology, infrastructure, and talented drivers. Retaining Norris and Piastri for the long term is a high priority for McLaren.
