Formula One world champion Lando Norris has extended his contract with McLaren until at least the end of 2030, saying Saturday he would be happy to finish his career with a team that feels like home.
The 26-year-old Briton, who won the past two races in Hungary and the Netherlands, announced the new deal to McLaren employees during a friends and family day at the team's Woking factory.
McLaren said the agreement also includes a multi-year option that could keep Norris with the team beyond 2030. The driver was presented with an MCL39 from last season after becoming McLaren's first drivers' champion since Lewis Hamilton in 2008.
Speaking to reporters earlier Saturday, Norris said the timing of the contract extension was ideal for maintaining the team's morale and motivation. He also dismissed media speculation about the value of the deal, saying figures reported in some outlets were wide of the mark.
"At the minute there's really no reason to want to even put a thought into somewhere else," he said. "I kind of want my whole career to be with McLaren because I'm happy here and I don't want to change.
