JAKARTA - Racer Lando Norris officially extended his contract for several years with the British racing team, McLaren. The contract starts at the end of 2025.

"It's nice to be able to live in this 'tim papaya'. I grew up with McLaren and feel at home here. This team is like family to me," Norris said quoting Antara.

The Inggrs racer won six P2 finishes in 2023 and moved up to sixth in the riders' standings in the same season. It was his best achievement since he made his F1 debut with McLaren in 2019.

In addition, Norris' contract will expire at the end of 2025. His brilliant achievement last season made both parties decide to extend his stay.

After Oscar Piastri's teammate signed a new contract last September, Norris' new contract extension will keep McLaren from changing the line-up for at least the next three seasons.

"Travels have been exciting so far, we had ups and downs, but last season we showed our desire to compete again on the grid ahead," said Norris.

He also appreciated the performance led by McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown and McLaren Team Head Andrea Stella, as well as the entire team he has valued for over the past year.

The work they've done over the past year has been great, and I'm confident in challenging a win with McLaren. I'm excited to create more amazing memories and keep working hard with everyone here over the next few years," Norris said.

Agreeing, Brown and Stella added that they are happy to be able to continue this professional relationship with Norris, whom they value as a young racer with full determination.

They agreed that Norris had shown extraordinary commitment and desire to push the team forward and bring McLaren back to pole position.

"Last season we saw the fundamental role that Lando played with an impressive change of course, and I look forward to continuing this push with more podiums," Brown said.

Lando has grown as a racer and personally since joining McLaren for the first time in 2017. He impressed last season, playing an important role in our progress throughout the year, securing seven podiums with a fantastic many trips," Stella added.
