The renewal of Lando Norris with McLaren
He already had a multi-year contract in hand, but McLaren did not waste time renewing it again until 2030, with the clear intention of allowing him to end his career in Formula 1 at Woking. A trust evidently reciprocated also by Lando Norris who, fresh winner of the last two races of the F1 calendar, had recently declared that he feels great and is considering the possibility of tying himself forever to the English team, despite admitting to being attracted by another (mysterious but perhaps not too much) team on the grid. A renewal that can only make team principal Andrea Stella happy, who celebrates the extension of the contract of the current world champion, as well as one of the drivers who is confirming himself among the best interpreters of the new generation of cars.

The words of Andrea Stella
“Lando – explains the Italian team principal, at Woking since 2015 after a long stint at Ferrari – has been an integral part of McLaren’s journey and success for nine years, and we are pleased to continue our collaboration with him at least until 2030. He is an exceptional driver, capable of combining extraordinary innate speed with maturity, consistency, and a strong commitment to our team. But, above all, he is a special person, appreciated by all team members.”

“Since joining McLaren as part of our young driver program – continues Andrea Stella – he has grown with us and played a central role in bringing the team back to the top of Formula 1. This renewal guarantees us important continuity and strengthens our confidence in the direction we are taking together. With Lando and Oscar, we know we can count not only on one of the strongest pairs but also on one of the most united and close-knit teams on the F1 grid.” With Piastri’s renewal signed in March 2025 until 2028 and now the announcement of Norris’s extension, McLaren thus secures the same line-up for at least two more seasons.
