The renewal secures McLaren’s long-term driver plan, aiming to help the team turn recent upgrades followed by consecutive wins into a stronger 2026 title bid.

Overview

  • McLaren announced Saturday that Lando Norris has signed a new contract to remain with the team at least until the end of 2030 and that the deal carries an option to extend beyond that date.
  • The signing was revealed at a McLaren Technology Centre event where the team presented Norris with his 2025 MCL39, the car he used to win the drivers’ title.
  • Norris has won the last two Grands Prix in Hungary and Zandvoort, results that have revived his defence of the 2025 championship and moved him back into contention in the 2026 standings.
  • The extension locks in McLaren’s driver pairing because Oscar Piastri remains under contract through 2028 and it reinforces continuity in team leadership and engineering planning.
  • McLaren will use the stability from the deal to focus development on the MCL40 after midseason upgrades improved pace, and Norris said he is happy to remain at the team long-term while turning down exaggerated salary reports.
