The reigning world champion said he would be happy to see out his career with McLaren, a team he said felt like home.

Norris extends McLaren contract to 2030

Formula One champion Lando Norris has extended his contract with McLaren until the end of 2030, marking a significant commitment to the team. The 26-year-old British driver, who made his debut with McLaren in 2019, has secured 13 victories and 18 pole positions with the reigning constructors champions. Norris expressed his happiness at remaining with McLaren, stating that he feels it is his only team and that his career would feel incomplete if he were to switch.

The team principal, Andrea Stella, emphasized the importance of continuity and a strong partnership between Norris and Oscar Piastri, adding that the extension boosts confidence in their direction together. When asked about his potential earnings, Norris dismissed media speculation about a salary comparable to Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Ferrari's Hamilton, noting that his new deal falls short of those figures, but he remains optimistic about future extensions.
