Lando Norris will remain at McLaren until at least the end of 2030 after agreeing a contract extension, Formula 1 announced Saturday.
The 2025 world champion’s previous deal was due to expire after 2027. The new agreement includes a multi-year option that could keep him at the team beyond 2030.
Norris, who joined McLaren as a junior in 2017 and made his race debut in 2019, called the team “my home.”
“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,” he said. “We’ve achieved that goal, but we want more, we want to keep on winning.”
McLaren CEO Zak Brown said Norris’s path from academy driver to champion showed the team’s approach to developing talent. Team principal Andrea Stella called him “an integral part of McLaren’s journey” and praised the pairing with Oscar Piastri as one of the strongest and most united on the grid.
Norris has recorded 13 Grand Prix wins, 18 poles and 48 podiums for McLaren. He has started 163 races for the team — more than any other driver in its history — and helped deliver consecutive constructors’ titles in 2024 and 2025 plus the squad’s first drivers’ championship in 17 years.
Piastri is contracted through 2028, giving McLaren two seasons of confirmed driver stability. By the end of the new deal Norris will be 31 and will have spent 12 years with the team, matching Lewis Hamilton’s lengthy Mercedes tenure. The contracts of Norris and Max Verstappen at Red Bull are now scheduled to expire at the same time.
As part of the agreement, Norris will receive the MCL39 he raced during his title-winning 2025 season.
