Home is where the championships are. 🏎️⁣
⁣
Defending Formula 1 world champion Lando Norris is staying with McLaren for the long haul, signing a contract extension that keeps him with the team through at least the end of 2030, with an option to extend beyond that. ✍️⁣
⁣
While financial terms weren't announced, reports say the deal could be worth up to $35 million USD per year, making it one of the biggest contracts on the F1 grid. 👀⁣
⁣
Norris joined McLaren's driver program nine years ago and has spent his entire F1 career with the team since debuting in 2019. 🧡⁣
⁣
Last season, he delivered McLaren's first drivers' championship since Lewis Hamilton in 2008, and now says the team's goal is simple: keep winning. 🏆⁣
⁣
The extension comes just days after Max Verstappen also committed to Red Bull through 2030, locking in one of F1's biggest rivalries for years to come. 🤩⁣
⁣
In an era of constant driver movement, Norris and Verstappen's long-term deals signal a new era of stability at the top of Formula 1, and a rivalry that could define the rest of the decade. 🏁⁣
