Lando Norris

Lando Norris is a British racing driver and reigning Formula 1 World Champion, having driven for McLaren throughout his entire grand prix career. Born in Bristol in 1999, he was a karting prodigy and Formula 3 European champion before finishing runner-up in Formula 2 in 2018. He stepped up to McLaren in 2019 and quickly grew into one of the most popular and consistent performers on the grid.

Norris built his reputation through the early 2020s with a string of podiums as McLaren rebuilt, finally taking his maiden win at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix. As the team surged to the front he became a genuine title contender, and in 2025 he claimed the World Championship with seven victories, the crowning achievement of a partnership that has spanned his whole F1 life with McLaren.

Current season standings and results are shown in the table below.

Norris is a precise, quick and increasingly complete driver, strong in qualifying and adept at managing tyres over a race distance. Known as much for his openness and humour off track as his pace on it, he has become one of the sport's most marketable figures. With a championship secured and McLaren at the front, he is now established among the leading drivers of his generation.
