It speaks volumes that at only 23, Lando Norris became McLaren's senior driver. It was the first time in his career that he had ever been the elder driver in a team, and for many, that would have been a heavy burden, but the British star has gone from strength to strength, growing into a World Champion. After producing his strongest season to date in 2024 and playing a key role in McLaren’s first Constructors’ Championship for 26 years, Lando mounted a successful title charge in 2025, clinching the Drivers’ title in the Abu Dhabi season finale.

Possessing natural raw pace, Lando's out-and-out speed has always been evident, but during his six seasons, he's carved out a reputation as a quality qualifier and one of the most consistent racers on the grid. Somewhat shy, but with a playful sense of humour and boyish charm, when he first joined as Test and Simulator Driver in 2017, Lando has developed into a mature and confident leader with a sharp wit.
