Lando Norris extends McLaren deal until F1 2030

Lando Norris has agreed to a long-term contract extension with McLaren, keeping him with the team until at least 2030. The deal, announced on Saturday, includes multi-year options to further extend his stay. According to Motorsport.com, Norris personally announced the news to the Woking factory staff.

Norris described the decision to sign the new contract as "quite an easy yes for me". In an interview with BBC Sport, he said he didn't consider other teams, stating "I don't want to go anywhere. I don't want to be with another team. I don't want to spend time with other people." Yahoo Sports and BBC Sport reported that Norris had been with McLaren since his Formula 1 debut in 2019 and cited his loyalty to the team, particularly to chief executive officer Zak Brown and team principal Andrea Stella, as the reason for his decision.

After struggling for competitiveness in their early years together, McLaren's form improved significantly after Stella's promotion at the end of 2022, with the team winning consecutive constructors' championships in 2024 and 2025, according to BBC Sport. Norris's existing contract still had more than a year to run, but he had no hesitation in agreeing to the new deal, which was discussed over the last four months.
