Lando Norris Re-signs Contract Beyond 2026

Lando Norris has renewed his contract with McLaren, securing his stay with the Woking team beyond the 2026 Formula 1 season. This decision not only strengthens McLaren's structure, but also shows the mutual trust and long-term commitment between the British driver and the team.

With the signing of this new contract, McLaren anticipates any possibility of other teams being interested in Norris. His previous contract, established in 2022, was set to expire at the end of 2025. The exact duration of the extension has not been revealed, but it is expected to last at least until 2027, with possibilities of further extension.
Norris expressed his satisfaction with continuing to wear the colors of McLaren, a team with which he has grown and feels fully integrated, calling it his "family." The driver highlighted the exciting journey he has had with the team, including both challenging and successful moments. His vision is clear: to fight for victories and create more memorable moments in the coming years.

This renewal comes at a critical time for McLaren, which has also secured the stay of Oscar Piastri until the end of 2026. These decisions reinforce the team's confidence in its ability to compete at the highest level and its ambition to lead again in Formula 1. Andrea Stella, the team's director, highlighted Norris's growth since joining in 2017 and his key contribution last season.
Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren, was delighted with the continuation of the relationship with Norris, emphasizing the commitment and dedication of the driver to push the team to the front of the grid. Norris's trajectory at McLaren, since his F1 debut in 2019, has been outstanding, achieving a pole position and several second places, demonstrating his potential yet to be exploited.
