Lando Norris extended his McLaren contract just days before it was announced that Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes at the end of 2024. He says he doesn’t regret it.
McLaren announced that Lando Norris has signed a new multi-year deal with the team, less than a week before it was announced that Lewis Hamilton will be leaving Mercedes at the end of 2024.
The young Briton has been one of the drivers mentioned in connection with Mercedes’ 2025 seat, however, the contract extension makes the move unlikely.
Asked whether, in light of Hamilton’s move, he now regrets signing the extension, Norris said he does not.
“I’m very happy,” the Briton said.
