Formula 1 Norris extends McLaren F1 contract with bumper new deal Jack Benyon 29 Aug 2026 — 2 min read Reigning Formula 1 world champion Lando Norris has extended his McLaren contract, taking his stay with the team beyond a decade and through the 2030 season.
But there is scope for that to run longer - as McLaren's announcement of the deal added there was a "multi-year option to commit beyond" that 2030 date.
Norris, who has won the last two F1 races in the upgraded McLaren, became part of McLaren's junior programme in 2017 and earned a race drive for 2019.
He has already notched the highest number of starts of any McLaren driver and is on course to extend that record substantially with his new deal.
