Early Life

Lando Norris was born on November 13, 1999, in Bristol, England, United Kingdom. Lando's father, Adam, a retired pensions manager, is one of the wealthiest people in Bristol. He is estimated to be one of the 500 richest people in England. Norris' mother, Cisca, is from Belgium. Lando holds dual citizenship between England and Belgium, and he has two younger sisters, Cisca and Flo, and an older brother named Oliver who competed in karting until 2014. As a child, Norris tried horse riding, motorcycle riding, and quad biking, and when he was 7 years old, his father took him to the British Karting Championships, sparking Lando's interest in the sport. Norris attended Somerset's Millfield School, and though he left before taking his GCSEs, he studied math and physics with a full-time tutor. His family moved to Glastonbury so Lando could pursue a racing career, and he lived near the McLaren headquarters before moving to Monaco in 2022.

Career

Norris' karting career began at the age of 7, and when he competed in his first national event, he claimed pole position. He competed in KF-Junior karting in 2013 and won the CIK FIA European Championship, WSK Euro Series, and International Super Cup. Lando won the 2014 CIK-FIA KF World Championship, becoming the youngest karting world champion. His car racing debut took place at the 2014 Ginetta Junior Championship, and he finished in third place and received the Rookie Cup. After signing with Carlin Motorsport, Norris won the 2015 MSA Formula Championship, and in 2016, he won the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 NEC with Josef Kaufmann Racing and the Toyota Racing Series with M2 Competition. With Carlin, Lando won the 2017 FIA Formula 3 European Championship and came in second at the 2017 Macau Grand Prix and 2018 FIA Formula 2 Championship.

In February 2017, Norris signed with McLaren Racing Limited as a junior driver, and he officially became a McLaren test and reserve driver at the end of the year. As a member of the McLaren F1 Team, Lando finished in the top 10 in 11 races in 2019 and finished 11th in the 2019 FIA Formula One World Championship. In 2020, he finished third in the Austrian Grand Prix, fourth in the Italian and Bahrain Grands Prix, fifth in the Styrian, British, and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix, and ninth in the championship. In 2021, Norris finished sixth in the FIA Formula One World Championship after placing in the top five in 10 races. In 2022, he finished third in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, fourth in the Singapore Grand Prix, and seventh in the championship. In July 2023, he finished as runner-up in the British Grand Prix.

Norris also competed in the 2018 24 Hours of Daytona (part of the IMSA SportsCar Championship) with United Autosports, and his team finished 13th in their class. He raced in the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual with Team Redline in the LMP2 class, and despite strong early pace, the team finished 25th after technical problems forced his teammate Max Verstappen into a crash.

On July 6, 2025, Norris earned his first British Grand Prix victory at Silverstone in challenging mixed-weather conditions, outlasting teammate Oscar Piastri and capitalizing on a penalty assessed to Piastri during a safety car period. The win marked a major career milestone and set up one of the most dramatic championship battles of the modern era.

The season culminated in Norris securing his first Formula One World Championship with a measured third-place finish at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Needing a podium to clinch the title, he delivered under immense pressure, completing a historic year that also saw McLaren claim the constructors' championship.

Personal Life

Lando dated model Luisinha Oliveira from August 2021 to September 2022. He has said that he and Oliveira received death threats and abuse from internet trolls, telling The Sun in 2022:

"Whether it's about my personal life, me and my girlfriend, especially the amount of hate pages dedicated to Luisinha now. It is pretty horrific."

Norris added:

"What I find the funniest in a way is people are actually spending their one life on Earth just sat behind a computer trying to ruin and bully someone. When people are creating fake pages and fake chats, and fake WhatsApp messages, then I am like, 'You're actually spending your life doing that?' They're wasting their life."

In July 2021, Lando was mugged outside Wembley Stadium after attending the Euro final. The two muggers stole Norris' £40,000 watch.

In March 2020, Lando raised $12,000 for the World Health Organization's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund after promising to shave his head if his fans donated at least $10,000. During a 2021 interview on ITV's "This Morning," Norris spoke about dealing with depression as a Formula One rookie. He stated:

"What's the outcome of all of this? Am I going to be in Formula One next year, if I'm not? What am I going to do because I'm not really good at many other things in life? So, just all of that, and then just feeling depressed a lot of the time that if I have a bad weekend, I just think I'm not good enough and things like that."

Lando said that talking to his friends and McLaren helped him, as did working with the mental health organization Mind.

Awards

At the "Autosport" Awards, Norris was named British Club Driver of the Year in 2016, National Driver of the Year in 2017, and British Competition Driver of the Year in 2019, 2020, and 2021. He also won the McLaren "Autosport" BRDC Award in 2016.
