Lando Norris (born November 13, 1999, in Bristol, UK) is a British racing driver, who made his debut for McLaren Racing during the 2019 FIA Formula One World Championship.[1] A member of the McLaren Young Driver Programme, Norris arrived in F1 after a successful maiden season in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, and would replace Stoffel Vandoorne.[1]

Background[]

Norris, son of a wealthy businessman Adam Norris who has a net worth of around 200 million, began his racing career in karting at the age of seven, and quickly rose through the ranks to become World Karting Champion in 2013, aged 14. A year later the Brit became the youngest ever CIK-FIA KF World Karting Champion, having moved into the Ginetta Junior Championship in his native Britain. A successful debut year in car racing saw the youngster gain a seat in the MSA Formula Championship with Carlin Motorsport.

Carlin Control[]

Norris would claim the title in the inaugural MSA Formula season, which also earned him a handful of appearances in continental Formula 4 series. For 2016 Norris made the move to the Toyota Racing Series in New Zealand, as well as taking up seats in two Formula Renault Championships in Europe. A stunning season saw Norris claim all three Championships, which earned him a few drivers in several Formula Three events, including the Macau Grand Prix.

For 2017 Norris would be signed, with Carlin, to the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, one of the most high-profile junior series. His move also included a role in the McLaren Young Driver Programme, with Norris making his test debut in a Formula One car at the 2017 in-season test at the Hungaroring.[2] Yet, that would not prove to be a distraction to the Bristol born racer, for Norris claimed the F3 Europe title with two races to spare.

Formula Foundations[]

Norris would sign up to the FIA Formula 2 Championship before the end of the 2017 season, taking part in the final two races of the season in Abu Dhabi.[3] This morphed into a full F2 campaign in 2018, with Norris winning the season opening race in Bahrain, launching a season long title fight with George Russell.[4]

Formula One Career[]

Norris joined the McLaren Young Driver Programme ahead of the 2017 season, before gaining a test/reserve driver contract for the 2018 season.[5] After an impressive maiden F2 campaign, and several free practice run-outs with McLaren, Norris was signed by the Woking-based team for the 2019 season, partnering Carlos Sainz, Jr.[1]

Ahead of the 2022 season, Norris agreed to a contract extension with McLaren until the end of the 2025 season.[6]
