News - 2026-09-14 - By Jenny Marsh

Lando Norris has launched LN4 Fusion and the LN4 Legacy programme, with Autosport reporting the projects as he sits fourth in the 2026 standings on 186 points.

Lando Norris has launched LN4 Fusion and the LN4 Legacy programme, according to Autosport, adding two off-track projects to a Formula 1 career that stands at 161 Grands Prix, 11 wins and 16 poles. The McLaren driver is fourth in the 2026 drivers' championship on 186 points.

Autosport reported that Norris announced LN4 Fusion as a new single-seater race team and said the LN4 Legacy programme is intended to support young drivers. The same report said Norris wants the structure to help underfunded talent move through the junior ladder toward Formula 1.

The launch follows a difficult Spanish Grand Prix weekend for Norris. Formula1.com reported that the timing of a Virtual Safety Car left him third, while BBC Sport reported Norris said he was "paying the price" for the effort that brought him the 2025 title.
