Lando Norris Signs Long-Term McLaren Contract Until 2030

Lando Norris has signed a multi-year contract extension to remain at McLaren, cementing his long-term Formula 1 future with the Woking-based team that guided his path from junior categories to the global stage. The 26-year-old British driver, who captured the Formula 1 World Championship, announced the commitment to solidify his partnership with the squad as the sport heads into its next regulatory era.

“McLaren has been my home for a very long time, and staying here is a natural decision,” Norris said through team channels regarding the announcement. “We have been through a lot together, from my early days in the junior ranks to winning the world championship. We share the same ambition, and I want to keep winning with this group of people.”

Building a Career in Woking

The new agreement reinforces a relationship that began when Norris joined the McLaren Young Driver Programme in 2017. After serving as a test and reserve driver during the 2018 season, he stepped up to a full-time race seat in 2019 alongside Carlos Sainz. Over the following seasons, Norris established himself as a central figure in the team’s rebuilding effort under Team Principal Andrea Stella and CEO Zak Brown.
