Norris sets up junior team to help drivers to F1

Lando Norris, the current Formula 1 world champion, has announced plans to establish his own driver development programme and junior team called LN4 Fusion. The team will be launched near Monza, Italy, before the Italian Grand Prix weekend, and will operate in multiple feeder categories starting from next year. Norris aims to give back to the motorsport community by helping younger drivers without the same opportunities as him.

He believes that the right people, support, and opportunities are crucial for drivers' development. LN4 Fusion will be run by Rene Rosin, a former boss of a successful junior team, and will be co-owned by investor Dan Richards. The headquarters will be in Veneto, Italy, with a UK arm based in Cambridgeshire. Norris' goal is to create a competitive race team while providing young drivers with the best possible chances to reach Formula 1.
