Norris, 26, has driven for McLaren throughout his F1 career, having joined the team for his debut in 2019. He won his first world championship last season, and his previous deal was due to run until the end of this year, making the new agreement a significant statement of intent from both sides.

Norris made his F1 debut with McLaren in 2019 and has raced for no other team. The new agreement builds on a relationship that has now lasted more than seven seasons, with the world champion committing his future to the team that gave him his start.

Norris on his future

Norris said he wants to see out his career with McLaren, describing the team as "a second family". He said he had not considered leaving and made no approaches to other teams, although some teams had made advances towards him.

McLaren confirmed the deal on Saturday morning, with Norris personally telling staff at the team's Woking factory during its annual family event. The team have not disclosed financial terms or the length of the option periods.

What the deal means

The agreement removes the uncertainty that had built up around the champion's future, given his previous contract was about to enter its final season. He had been the subject of interest from other teams, though he said those approaches came to him rather than the other way round. Now, with the contract signed, McLaren have secured their world champion through 2030 and potentially beyond.

What is not yet known is how the options are structured — whether they sit with the team or the driver — and whether performance clauses are included. McLaren and Norris have both said nothing about the value of the contract, and no date has been set for further details.

Neither McLaren nor Norris has given a timeline for clarifying the option structure. For now, the significant fact is that the world champion has committed to the team he joined in 2019, ending any immediate talk of a move. The focus now shifts to the track, where Norris continues his defence of the title he won last season.
