Norris commits future to McLaren as he signs new deal until the end of 2030

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 the 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 claim 13 Grand Prix victories, 18 pole positions and 48 podiums – as well as his maiden World Championship in 2025. Additionally he has now raced in 163 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.

As well as confirming his future, Norris will also be gifted an MCL39 by the squad, which he raced during his title-winning season last year.

“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," Norris said.

"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.”

McLaren CEO, Zak Brown, said: “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.”

McLaren Team Principal, Andrea Stella, added: "Lando has been an integral part of McLaren’s journey and success over the last nine years, and we are delighted to continue our partnership with him through to at least 2030.

"He is an exceptional driver, someone who combines outstanding natural speed with maturity, consistency and a strong commitment to McLaren, but above all, he is a special human being who is valued by everyone in the team.

“Since joining McLaren as part of our junior programme, he has grown with us and played a central role in bringing the team back to the front of Formula 1. This extension gives us important continuity and reinforces our confidence in the direction we are taking together.

"With him and Oscar, we know we can count not only on one of the strongest partnerships but also on one of the most united and close-knit teams in Formula 1.”

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.

His deal expires at the same time as his rival and friend Max Verstappen, who recently committed to Red Bull, whom he joined in 2016, until the end of 2030.

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.
