What Lando Norris' contract extension means for McLaren and Oscar Piastri
Lando Norris has signed a contract extension with McLaren that keeps him with the team until 2030. The deal cements his status as a franchise driver following his breakthrough world championship win last season.
Why it matters
This move stabilizes the F1 driver market and confirms McLaren's long-term commitment to Norris as their primary championship contender.
With what is undoubtedly coming with a salary befitting a world champion, Lando Norris has put pen to paper to a deal tying him to the Woking-based team until 2030, with options for multiple additional years after that, taking Norris into his 30s.
Imagining Norris wearing a different-coloured race suit has always felt like a mind-bending exercise. Now, the 26-year-old's bumper McLaren contract has definitively taken one of F1's leading stars out of the driver market for years to come, turning Norris into a bona fide franchise driver for the team.
