McLaren has sealed a new contract with Lando Norris, extending his tenure with the team until the end of 2030 and granting him the MCL39 chassis that brought him the 2025 drivers’ title.
Arriving at the Woking outfit in 2019, Norris has started 163 Grands Prix for McLaren – more than any other driver to date – and has amassed 13 victories, 48 podiums, 18 pole positions, 20 fastest laps and 1,589 points. The 26‑year‑old now stands as the driver’s champion for his first season in the red and white colours.
McLaren’s latest deal confirms the club’s faith in Norris as a potential one‑team figure, while also rewarding his loyalty with a championship‑winning car that will serve as the latest MCL39 platform for upcoming campaigns.
Social media users praised the move, calling it “well deserved” and noting that the generous package signals McLaren’s solid belief that Norris can continue to score titles. Fans highlighted the significance of receiving the championship‑winning car, noting it “redesigned” for sustained competitiveness.
The contract outlines a paid agreement that includes a substantial salary increment, reflecting Norris’s high performance and the team’s commitment to maintaining championship momentum in the face of earlier reliability issues.
With the terms in place, both driver and team are focused on leveraging the MCL39’s architecture to push into the next decade. The long‑term commitment positions Norris and McLaren for a dominant era in Formula 1, offering a clear path for future titles.
