Lando Norris has signed a new multi-year contract with McLaren for an undisclosed duration that the F1 team says keeps him committed for the “long-term”
Lando Norris has signed a new multi-year contract with McLaren, committing to the team for the long term. This comes after McLaren’s drop in form and poor start to the 2023 season raised doubts about Norris fulfilling his previous contract. However, under the leadership of Andrea Stella, McLaren experienced a renaissance, making 2023 Norris’s best season in F1 so far, with seven podium finishes. McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown credits Norris with a fundamental role in McLaren’s turnaround. Norris has praised McLaren’s effort and sees them as family, backing them to challenge for wins. This contract renewal ensures that McLaren will maintain their highly rated driver line-up of Norris and Oscar Piastri until at least the end of 2026.
