Lando Norris (born 13 November 1999) is a British racing driver, currently competing in Formula One for McLaren. Norris has won three Formula One Grands Prix across six seasons.
Born in Bristol and raised in Glastonbury to an English father and Belgian mother, Norris began competitive kart racing aged seven. After a successful karting career—culminating in his victory at the direct-drive Karting World Championship in 2014—Norris graduated to junior formulae. He won his first title at the 2015 MSA Formula Championship with Carlin. He then won the Toyota Racing Series, Formula Renault Eurocup and Formula Renault NEC in 2016, receiving the Autosport BRDC Award that year. Norris won the FIA Formula 3 European Championship in 2017, and finished runner-up to George Russell in the 2018 FIA Formula 2 Championship, both with Carlin.
A member of the McLaren Young Driver Programme since 2017, Norris joined McLaren in 2019 to partner Carlos Sainz Jr., making his Formula One debut at the Australian Grand Prix. He achieved his maiden podium in Formula One at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix and his maiden pole position at the 2021 Russian Grand Prix. In 2024, Norris took his maiden career win at the Miami Grand Prix, repeating this feat in the Netherlands and Singapore.
As of the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix, Norris has achieved three race wins, eight pole positions, 11 fastest laps and 25 podiums in Formula One. Norris is set to remain at McLaren until at least the end of the 2027 season.[1]
