Norris extends McLaren stay until 2030

LONDON — Reigning Formula One world champion Lando Norris has committed to McLaren until 2030, signing a long-term contract extension on Saturday. The British driver's deal, which includes an option for a multi-year extension beyond 2030, was announced by McLaren shortly after he secured consecutive victories, including a win at the Dutch Grand Prix.

This extends his stay with the team to nine years, surpassing the previous record set by teammate and world champion, Lewis Hamilton, who won the drivers' title in 2008. Norris joined McLaren's junior program at the age of 17 and made his F1 debut in 2019. Speaking about the new contract, Norris expressed his happiness, stating that McLaren is "my home" and he is proud to continue his journey with the team.

The 26-year-old sits fourth in the championship table, trailing Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli by 83 points, with 11 races remaining in the season.
