CEO Zak Brown also stated “I’m delighted with the extension of our agreement with Lando for 2022 and beyond. He’s been instrumental in our return of form here at McLaren and we are proud of the growth he’s shown since he first started with us back in 2017”.

Norris himself shared his delight and added: “I’m really pleased to have extended my relationship with McLaren from 2022. Having been with the team for almost five years, I feel very much part of the family here and I couldn’t imagine starting the next phase of my career anywhere else.

Now with McLaren stacked for the future with two bright drivers the following question remains: Can they take on Mercedes and Red Bull. With Monaco coming this weekend there are many things to be on the lookout for.
