Lando Norris has committed his future to McLaren after signing a new deal that will extend his stay at the British team until at least then end of 2030, with a multi-year option to commit beyond that date.
The Briton joined McLaren in 2017 as a test and development driver before earning promotion to the grid as a race driver for 2019.
The 26 year old has since gone on to win 13 Grand Prix victories, 19 pole positions and 49 podiums – as well as his maiden World Championship in 2025. Additionally he has now race in 165 Grands Prix for the team, more than any other McLaren driver in history.
His previous deal is believed to have been set to expire at the end of 2027, but McLaren moved to lock him down for the foreseeable future with a fresh contract extension.
By the end of the current agreement, Norris will be 31 and have spent 12 years with McLaren, matching the stint Lewis Hamilton achieved with Mercedes.
Norris’ team mate Oscar Piastri, meanwhile, is contracted with McLaren up until the end of 2028, having signed a fresh deal ahead of the 2025 campaign. That gives McLaren stability for at least the next two Formula 1 campaigns.
McLaren is my home, and I’m very pleased to be signing a new contract to keep me with the team until at least 2030. When I started this journey nine years ago, I was clear about the goals I wanted to achieve: to get McLaren back to the front and to win championships. We’ve achieved that goal, but we want more, we want to keep on winning, and we know as a team that we’re capable of achieving it. I can’t wait to get back in the car in Monza and I’m very excited about what the future holds for us, both over the rest of this season, and in the coming years.

I’m incredibly pleased to be signing a new contract with Lando, extending his commitment with McLaren until at least 2030. His journey with the team is a fantastic example of our commitment to identifying, developing and supporting world-class talent, and his achievements speak for themselves. Together with Andrea [Stella], Oscar [Piastri] and the wider team, Lando has helped drive McLaren into a new papaya era of success, helping us go from the back of the grid, to double consecutive constructors’ titles in 2024 and 2025 and our first Drivers’ Championship in 17 years. We are extremely excited about what lies ahead and remain fully focused on continuing to compete for wins and championships.
