Norris reports: McLaren to 2030, junior team launched

BBC Sport and Autosport reported Lando Norris will stay with McLaren until at least 2030 and is starting projects to support young drivers.

BBC Sport and Autosport reported that Lando Norris has agreed a new McLaren contract running until at least the end of 2030. The move is not confirmed in the supplied information, so it remains a reported development here. Norris, who was described in the source coverage as the 2025 title winner, has 11 wins and 16 poles from 161 Grands Prix and sits fourth in the 2026 drivers' championship on 171 points.

The same outlets also reported that Norris is launching projects to help young drivers on the route to Formula 1. BBC Sport said he is setting up his own junior team, while Autosport reported that the plans include a single-seater team called LN4 Fusion and a support programme named LN4 Legacy.

Autosport also reported that the McLaren agreement includes options for additional years beyond 2030. Separately, BBC Sport's F1 Q&A raised questions about what the reported extension could mean for team-mate Oscar Piastri.
