Lando Norris has been plying his trade at McLaren since 2019. The Formula 1 season saw the announcement of the seven-time world champion’s move to Ferrari from 2025. This transfer is considered one of the biggest in the sport’s history.
In response to the announcement, the McLaren driver recently expressed his thoughts on Lewis Hamilton’s move and his own future with McLaren. The fourth-placed driver emphasized his desire to stay with the Papaya team following their recent resurgence under his leadership. He also acknowledged Hamilton’s move as ‘impressive’, hinting at the possibility of his own future move.
Lando Norris has been part of the McLaren team since 2019.
While I don’t completely reject the idea, I still find it an impressive move. However, I must clarify that I don’t necessarily want to follow the same path. I’m not saying I want to go to Ferrari now; I’m just acknowledging that there are certain things that are admirable to do.
This may mean that Norris is keeping his options open for when his contract with McLaren expires. Furthermore, driving for Ferrari is a dream for many young drivers. Only time will tell if the driver decides to join the Red team once his contract with McLaren ends in a few years.
Lando Norris and McLaren have achieved considerable success together. The British driver has been supported by McLaren since his junior days and has always been seen as their biggest asset.
During the same interview, Norris shared his thoughts on his future with the team.
But it would be a remarkable story if I stayed with McLaren throughout my career. I really love the team, the people I work with, and I am content. However, there is also a competitive side in me that craves victory. It’s about determining which aspect takes priority at different times and deciding when is the right time to make a change.
Norris added that he loves McLaren, but there may come a time in his career where he would consider leaving if he doesn’t have the right opportunity to compete for wins and championships. However, for now, it seems that the driver is fully committed to delivering exceptional results for the team led by his management. Currently, the team holds the third position in the 2024 Constructors’ Championship.
