Carlos Sainz [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carlos-sainz/] and McLaren ended their fruitful 2-year-long partnership on a high at Abu Dhabi GP [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/abu-dhabi-grand-prix/]. The Spaniard finished the relatively uneventful race in P6. His teammate Lando Norris [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lando-norris/] finished just above at P5, helping the team finish 3rd in the Constructor’s Championship. After the race, Sainz and his race engineer could not hide their delight over the team radio. After his engineer confirmed their 3rd place finish in the standings, the departing driver said – “Guys, congrats. I mean feels just good and you deserve it. We have done an amazing year, and I have been doing a lot of running for you. “Woof! What a way to close it, P3. Bravo! Bravo everyone; congrats everyone in the factory, congrats Andreas [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/andreas-seidl/] and everyone.” In trademark fashion, he got his vocals out for one last time with the team. “And for one last time, I will sing for you, Smooth Operator….’.” It’s easy to understand the delight of the driver and the team. Coming into the season finale, they were trailing behind Racing Point by 10 points for 3rd [https://www.formula1.com/en/results.html/2020/team.html] in the Championship. Helped by Sergio Perez’s [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-news-nets-kevin-durant-reveals-his-defence-on-kyrie-irving-in-the-nba-finals-was-his-best/] grid penalty, they had their hopes high. And in the race, they benefitted from his retirement because of engine failure. This is their highest finish in what has been a rotten turbo-hybrid era for them. But they have been turning over a page since Carlos’ arrival in 2019. Great way to end an excellent partnership between the two. WHAT NEXT FOR CARLOS SAINZ AND MCLAREN? There’s plenty to look forward to for both Sainz and McLaren [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/]. In a way, both the parties are moving to greener pastures next season. Whilst the Woking-based outfit is getting an ‘Awesome’ driver in Daniel Ricciardo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/], the Spaniard will fulfill his dream by switching to Ferrari [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/].

As for McLaren, they can keep building on what he started with the Honeybadger.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2023 - Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix took over the Brazilian GP?s spot on the Formula 1 calendar since its introduction. Following a provision calendar announcement in 2008, F1 drivers and teams got ready for their inaugural trip to the Yas Marina Circuit in 2009. Since then?except in 2011, 2012, and 2013?The Abu Dhabi GP has been the last race of the season. Yas Marina is, in every aspect, a modern-day track. Although it does nothing to rival the excitement of racing in Interlagos, it?s played a pretty good host to a few championship showdowns.</span>

[caption id="attachment_1338470" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1338470 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-11-20T131442Z_241423399_UP1EIBK10SG73_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ABUDHABI.jpg" alt="F1" width="1920" height="1194" /> Formula One F1 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - November 20, 2022 General view at the start of the race REUTERS/Aleksandra Szmigiel[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">The inaugural race in 2009 became the first day-night race on the calendar. The following year saw the first champion-deciding race on the new circuit. Going into the race, Ferrari?s Fernando Alonso was in the championship lead, followed by Red Bull?s Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel. McLaren?s Lewis Hamilton was also in contention, but his chances seemed less likely. Vettel got pole position for the race and converted it into a race win. With Alonso managing only a P6, the German became the youngest championship winner.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The next title-deciding fight happened in 2016 between the Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. As race day approached, Rosberg had a 12-point lead over Hamilton in the championship. Rosberg only needed a podium finish to win the championship, and that?s exactly what he did, despite some sly tactics employed by Hamilton. The Brit was in the lead with Rosberg in second, knowing fully well that if this continued, he?d lose the title. Hamilton started aching the field up, hoping the other drivers would catch Rosberg and challenge him for P2. That didn?t happen because Rosberg?s compatriot Vettel held his ground and brought the car home in P3.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">That became only the second season in Hamilton?s career where his teammate outperformed him. While Rosberg retired from F1 after the race, Hamilton kept his quest for title glory going. And it?s still on. Since then, the three-time champion has become a seven-time champion. Had it not been for things that happened in the most recent title showdown Abu Dhabi has seen, he could?ve been an eight-time champion.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The 2021 Abu Dhabi GP was a culmination of a season-long, explosive battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. They entered the race equal on points. With around 10 laps to go, it seemed like Hamilton would clinch his eighth title. But a late Safety Car and a questionable procedure followed during the SC period gave Verstappen the chance to steal the title from the Brit. Verstappen didn?t need a second invitation and clinched his maiden championship.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Scheduled from 24th to 26th November, the Abu Dhabi GP is Round 23 on the calendar. Red Bull and Max Verstappen have already sealed the Constructors? and Drivers? Championship this season, but there may still be a lot to play for. The battles for P2 in both championships could be decided at Yas Marina, and so could the fight for P4 in the team standings.</span>

[caption id="attachment_1338463" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1338463 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-11-20T143710Z_888989617_UP1EIBK14LWEC_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ABUDHABI.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1174" /> Formula One F1 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - November 20, 2022 Red Bull's Max Verstappen celebrates after winning the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix REUTERS/Leonhard Foeger[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">Last time out, Max Verstappen set the fastest lap in qualifying with a 1:23.824. He converted his pole to a win?a record 15th victory of the year, one he could break this season. Since 2015, the driver who qualified on pole has won the race. Considering the limited number of overtaking opportunities, qualifying is crucial in Abu Dhabi.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Apart from the F1 action, F1?s weekend at Yas Marina is set to be a party. Popstar Ava Max is set to light up the stage on Thursday, followed by Grammy-winning Dutch DJ and producer Ti?sto the same night. To cap off the weekend and the 2023 F1 season, legendary rock band Foo Fighters will turn Yas Marina into party central!</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Most Winners</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Since the first Abu Dhabi GP in 2009, it has made its way into the calendar every year. The organizers have also signed a contract with F1 to host the season-ending race until at least 2030. In the 14 editions of the race, there have only been six winners, the most successful of whom is Lewis Hamilton, with 5 victories. During his time at Red Bull, Sebastian Vettel won three of the five races at Yas Marina. Max Verstappen seems to be continuing Vettel?s Red Bull legacy, winning every edition since 2020.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Apart from these three repeat winners, Kimi Raikkonen (2012), Nico Rosberg (2015), and Valtteri Bottas (2017) have crossed the line in P1 in Abu Dhabi.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2017, Tilke suggested that they would change the track to increase the number of overtaking opportunities.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Turns 5 and 6 were a left-right chicane leading into Turn 7, a narrow hairpin. Now, Turn 4 to the hairpin?which is much wider?is a straight that leads into the 1.2km straight. Turns 11 to 14 had a similar layout pre-2021. 11 and 12 were a left-right chicane leading into two successive slow-speed lefts. That?s now been made into a sweeping, banked curve. In the final sector, Turns 18, 19, and 20 were made less tight to allow drivers to carry more speed through the previously slow corners.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">A striking difference between Yas Marina and other tracks is its pit exit. Unlike other tracks with open exits, the one in Yas Marina dips under the circuit through a tunnel. It?s stayed the same over the years despite drivers calling it dangerous.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Carlos Sainz 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Carlos Sainz Jr. is a Spanish racing driver presently driving for Scuderia Ferrari in Formula 1. He is the son of a race driver, Carlos Sainz Sr., who is a two-time World Rally champion. The Spaniard first made headlines when he ended McLaren's podium drought at the 2019 Brazilian Grand Prix. And since then, it has been a dream in F1 for Sainz, thanks to his strong end to the McLaren stint followed by a promising start with Ferrari.

[caption id="attachment_2092562" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-2092562 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-09-03T110052Z_465625726_UP1EJ930ULE2D_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ITALY.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1356" /> Formula One F1 - Italian Grand Prix - Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Monza, Italy - September 3, 2023 Ferrari's Carlos Sainz Jr. ahead of the Grand Prix REUTERS/Jennifer Lorenzini[/caption]
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Carlos Sainz: Career Timeline and On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
He made his debut in Formula 1 in 2015 with Toro Rosso alongside Max Verstappen. Since then, he remained within the Red Bull circle for a fairly long time. However, he was recruited by the Renault Formula 1 towards the end of the 2017 season. In the process, he replaced the British driver, Jolyon Palmer, and partnered with Nico Hulkenberg. After a year with the French manufacturer, he joined the McLaren team in 2019. With the Woking squad, Sainz Jr has blossomed and rewarded them with a maiden podium. In 2021, Sainz <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-ferrari-news-i-only-realized-after-signing-carlos-sainz-gives-three-word-update-on-how-his-father-broke-ferrari-contract-news-to-him/">made a dream move to Scuderia Ferrari</a>. Other than that, Sainz Jr. is well known for his consistency.

In 2019, Sainz was the benchmark of consistency. Aside from a tough first three races, he finished in the points in 13 races. This included a five-race point-scoring streak from France to Hungary. His 2019 championship run saw him finish with 96 points and a fine 6th place. In the final race of 2019, he managed to finish ahead of Pierre Gasly to clinch a spot in the Top-6.

At the 2020 Italian Grand Prix, he qualified third behind the dominant Mercedes duo of Hamilton and Bottas. He went on to finish second, his career-best race finish, and the second podium, finishing 0.4 seconds behind race winner Pierre Gasly. 2021 was Sainz's most successful F1 season yet, as the Spaniard secured 4 podiums in total. His first podium under Ferrari arrived in Monaco, followed by Hungary, Sochi, and Abu Dhabi.

Carlos Sainz grabbed his first pole position at the British GP in 2o22. It was his 150th race start, and he managed to convert his pole position into his maiden Formula 1 race victory. Sainz finished 4th in the Spanish GP, which is his best finish in his home Grand Prix. The 2022 season witnessed Sainz finishing on the podium 9 times, which is his career-best for a season. He finished the season in 5th place in the Drivers' Championship with 246 points.

In a season dominated by Max Verstappen and Red Bull, Carlos Sainz was the sole other race winner in the 2023 season. Verstappen and Perez won 21 won of the 22 races, with Sainz's win coming at the Singapore GP. During the first free practice session of the inaugural Las Vegas GP, Sainz hit a loose manhole cover causing damage to his car. Subsequently, he was handed a 10-place grid penalty as Ferrari had to change the damaged components of his car. He finished the season with 200 points, 6 points behind his teammate Charles Leclerc, and 7th in the Drivers' Championship.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Carlos Sainz: Personal Life</h2>
Carlos Sainz is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-who-is-rebecca-donaldson-the-new-woman-in-carlos-sainzs-life-post-unexpected-breakup-up-with-long-time-gf-isa-hernaez/">currently in a relationship with Rebecca Donaldson</a>.

Prior to Donaldson, Sainz was in a relationship with Isabel Hernaez. Sainz was reportedly dating the Madrid-born journalist and social media influencer for 7 years. The news of their split came around the 2023 Spanish GP.

And the number has followed Sainz into Ferrari as well, with the outfit offering Sainz an on-track salary of $8 million without bonuses.

Sainz finished the 2020 season in sixth place in the driver's championship for the second consecutive year. He accumulated 105 points and 6 top-5 finishes, which were both career highs.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Daniel Ricciardo is an Australian racing driver currently driving for the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 Team. He made his Formula 1 debut at the British GP in 2011, driving for Hispania Racing. His first F1 win came in the 2014 season at the Canadian GP in his debut season for Red Bull Racing. Ricciardo has accumulated 8 race wins over the course of his career, with the 2018 Monaco GP win being the feather in his cap.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Career Timeline</h2>
One of the best overtakers in the game, Daniel Ricciardo, made his Formula 1 debut in 2011 with HRT. A year later, he moved to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/toro-rosso/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Toro Rosso</a> alongside Jean-Eric Vergne. After two years with the Faenza-based team, he graduated to Red Bull and partnered with <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>. He remained with the team after Vettel's departure in 2015, this time teaming up with <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Daniil Kvyat</a>. The two raced together until mid-2016 when Kvyat was demoted to Toro Rosso and Max Verstappen took his place.

In mid-2018, Daniel Ricciardo announced his departure from Red Bull after an association of five seasons. Ricciardo joined Renault in 2019, partnering with Nico Hulkenberg. However, it came as a shock when Ricciardo affirmed that he wouldn't be extending his contract with the French outfit.

Many believed Ricciardo would eventually join Ferrari - given his hunger and passion to win the world championship, not to mention his Italian heritage. Sadly, it never came to pass. The Australian was in talks with Ferrari, but the negotiations never amounted to anything serious. He was beaten to a seat at the Scuderia by McLaren's Carlos Sainz.

After a largely unsuccessful stint with Renault, The Honey Badger announced his switch to McLaren for the 2021 season. Ricciardo teamed up with Lando Norris over his first stint. Despite largely trailing the Briton, Ricciardo managed to break the shackles at the Italian Grand Prix by claiming his first F1 victory since the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix and the first for McLaren since the 2012 Brazilian GP.

After a string of disappointing results during the 2022 season, McLaren terminated his contract a year in advance and, soon later after the conclusion of the Japanese GP qualifying, he announced his departure from the F1 grid for the 2023 season. He went on to take up the role of the Red Bull 3rd driver. However, following the release of Nyck de Vries from his AlphaTauri seat, Ricciardo was announced as his replacement, and the Hungarian GP marked his return to AlphaTauri and Formula 1.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Daniel Ricciardo's Personal Life</h2>
For someone who's quite open and active across social media, Ricciardo is quite reserved about his personal life. The Australian prefers to keep his family and relationships away from the limelight. Daniel's father is Giuseppe “Joe” Ricciardo and his mother is Grace Ricciardo. His father was born in Ficarra, Italy, and moved to Australia aged 7. His mother is Australian-born, however, she is of Italian descent as well. Daniel's sister's name is Michelle. Daniel's father Giuseppe is a former driver and has raced at the Barbagallo Raceway in Western Australia.

There were rumors of Ricciardo dating an Australian model Jessica Gomes in 2018, but the Honey Badger <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6754573/Daniel-Ricciardo-29-denies-dating-Jessica-Gomes-34-admits-rumours-positive.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied</a> the same. Since 2022, Daniel Ricciardo has been in a <a href="https://people.com/who-is-heidi-berger-daniel-ricciardo-8349982" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relationship with Heidi Berger</a>. Heidi is the daughter of former Austrian F1 driver Gerhard Berger and her mother is former Portuguese model Ana Corvo. Gerhard has driven for F1 teams such as Ferrari, McLaren, and Benetton. Heidi is an actress and has starred in the soap opera <em>A Única Mulher</em>.

Apart from F1, Ricciardo follows the NFL, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-nlf-afc-news-alphatauri-news-how-did-daniel-ricciardo-and-josh-allen-become-friends-what-nfl-team-does-the-f1-star-support/">Buffalo Bills is his favorite team</a>.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Daniel Ricciardo: Stats and on-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
A ninth-placed finish saw Ricciardo score his first set of points in Australia in 2012. His first podium came at the Spanish GP in 2014 when he finished third. He followed it up with another third-place finish in Monaco. The Perth native snatched his maiden win at the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix. Ricciardo went on to win two more races that year, in Hungary and Belgium.

While Ricciardo wowed fans with his incredible racecraft, he also has a unique taste in helmets. Daniel Ricciardo's 2019 lid, with the words <em>"Stop Being Them"</em> caught everyone's attention and instantly became a fan favorite. His 2020 helmet is an evolution of the 2019 lid, with some crazy color combinations that truly stand out. It was a similar crazy design in 2021 as well, with the theme being 'All good, all ways'.

Under his previous contract with Red Bull, he was making $6 million per year. In 2021, with McLaren, Ricciardo became the 7th highest-earning F1 driver on the grid, with a salary of $17 million per year. However, over the 2021 season, Ricciardo has <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.gq.com.au/fitness/sport/f1-driver-salaries-2022/image-gallery/959853345554bc750aa6609f94994634?pos=7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> taken a step back with a salary of $15 million.

He owns a McLaren 720s which was a gift to himself after his win at the Italian GP in 2021. The McLaren 720s comes with a price tag of $299,000. The Honey Badger's garage also houses a Porsche 918 Spyder worth $845,000. His 599 horsepower-producing Porsche has a white metallic finish to it. Additionally, the Australian owns a 2016 Aston Martin Vantage worth $300,000 and has a 5.2 liter AE31 twin-turbocharged V12 engine. Another Aston and Ricciardo's prized possession is a $2.6 million Aston Martin Valkyrie which is powered by a 6.5 liter V12 and produces an astonishing 1100 hp.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
British driver Lando Norris made his Formula 1 debut with McLaren during the 2019 season. He was initially interested in pursuing a motorcycle racing career. However, that changed when he attended his first kart race. He made his racing debut in 2014 at the Ginetta Junior Championship, finishing 3rd. A year later, he won the MSA Formula Championship while racing for Carlin. In 2016, he even won the Formula Renault 2.0 and the Toyota Racing Series.

Finally, in 2017, he won the FIA Formula 3 Championship and placed 2nd at the Macau GP. But in 2018, he could only muster 2nd in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, losing out to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/george-russell/" target="_self" rel="noopener">George Russell</a>. In Formula 1, he has been fairly successful after making his debut in 2019 with McLaren. In his rookie season, he managed to secure 49 points and finished 11th in the driver standings. His maiden podium came in the following season. He has finished on the podium 15 times in his career; 3 of them coming in the 2021 season.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris: Stats and On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
During the 2017 Formula 3 season, the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/">McLaren</a> #4 driver won the very first race of the season. He followed it up with a podium in Round 3, both races at Silverstone. Since then, Lando Norris went on a 5-race podium streak, including a win. But it was halted at Race 3 of the Pau Grand Prix. Unfazed, he scored six podiums and seven wins to seal the Championship.

During the 2018 Formula 2 season, he claimed a season-opening victory, this time in Bahrain. However, it would be the only win he took all season. But he managed to follow it up with eight podiums to finish 2nd in the Championship.

The 2019 Formula 1 season was his first-ever season among the elite. He was partnered by Spanish driver <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Sainz_Jr." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carlos Sainz Jr.</a> at McLaren. The 2021 F1 season has been the most successful season for Norris, having garnered a total of 4 podiums, and almost secured his first-ever top 5 finish in the drivers' standings. He has also defeated Sainz's successor, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/">Daniel Ricciardo</a> quite effectively, despite the latter's abundant experience in F1. He finished 7th in the Drivers' Championship with 122 points in the 2022 season, 38 points less than what he had managed in the previous season.

The 2023 season witnessed rookie Oscar Piastri replacing Daniel Ricciardo as Norris' new teammate. After a slow start to the season, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-lando-norris-co-s-clever-tactics-tipped-to-destroy-lewis-hamilton-while-max-verstappen-remains-elusive/">McLaren and Norris found their groove.</a> Norris bagged 205 points over the course of the season–his career best–and finished only 1 point behind 4th place as both Leclerc and Alonso finished level on 206 points.

After holding the record for the most podiums without a win, the situation turned around for Lando Norris, who won his first race at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix. His first race win brought him to 83 points where he tied at P4 in the driver's championship. Norris had the lead after the safety car incident and, since lap 33, he knew he would win the race. This makes him the 114th Grand Prix winner in the history of the sport.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">The scariest moments of Lando Norris' career</h2>
The Briton suffered what is arguably the worst crash of his career during the 2021 Belgian GP qualifying. The crash took place around the nerve-wracking Eau Rouge-Raidillon turn under appalling weather conditions. The very same year, Norris ended up being a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-lando-norris-robbery-remains-a-mystery-as-twisted-case-takes-another-turn-after-recent-judgement/">victim of a robbery</a> while heading out of the Wembley Stadium after the Euro 2020 finals between England and Italy. Norris lost his $75,000 worth of Richard Mille prototype watch in the robbery.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris: Net Worth</strong></h2>
In 2019, Lando Norris' salary was estimated to be around $2 million <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/03/30/how-much-are-f1-drivers-earning-in-2020-and-should-their-fees-be-capped/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to reports</a>. However, in 2021, Norris' on-track salary witnessed a substantial jump and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brettknight/2021/07/22/formula-1-highest-paid-drivers-hamilton-verstappen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly raced up</a> to a whopping $9 million, which was only $1 million less than the salary of his teammate, Daniel Ricciardo.

In February 2022, Norris extended his partnership with McLaren until the end of 2025. This particular <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.gq.com.au/fitness/sport/f1-driver-salaries-2022/image-gallery/959853345554bc750aa6609f94994634#:~:text=Lando%20Norris%20signed%20a%20contract,2023%20season%2C%20will%20likely%20go" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contract</a> will be worth $80M and hence, Norris will embrace yearly earnings of around $20M.

Norris also owns an E-sports team named '<a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://quadrant.gg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quadrant</a>'. The Briton has a logo of his own too goes by the alphabets L and N and is usually written as 'L4NDO'. His helmet, too, sports a similar design.

As of December 2023, Norris' net worth is <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/24632242/lando-norris-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> to be around $30 million.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris: Endorsements</strong></h2>

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Personal life</h2>
Not many know of this, but Lando Norris's father is <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/bristol-rich-list-2016-revealed-270" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one of the richest people in the UK</a>. Adam Norris is a multimillionaire who made his fortunes through pension funds. Norris' mother Cisca <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/formula-1/2019/07/12/lando-norris-interview-not-going-moving-monaco-yet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is Belgian</a> and the 22-year-old holds dual citizenship from Britain and Belgium.

In 2021, Norris officially revealed that he was dating the Portuguese model, Luisinha Oliveira. The Briton posted a picture of the two together holidaying on Instagram, to which his former teammate, Carlos Sainz, commented, "<em>It's official.</em>" However, the couple parted ways in 2022. Before Oliveria, Norris was rumored to be dating Ukrainian model Katerina Berezhna.

Born in the late 90s, one might assume Norris idolizes drivers like Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, or Lewis Hamilton. However, truth be told, he idolizes none of the Formula 1 drivers. Instead, his idol has always been MotoGP legend, Valentino Rossi. The Briton, on several occasions, has made it obvious by sporting bucket caps with the number 46 and 'The Doctor' written all over them.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Lando Norris: Foundations and Charities</b></h2>
Lando Norris put his gaming and sim racing abilities to good use. In April 2020, Norris raised over $10,000 as part of a charity stream for Twitch as an aid for those affected by COVID-19. Norris raised <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/148845/norris-to-shave-off-hair-after-twitch-charity-stream" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over $12,000 and shaved off his head</a> (a promise he made if he hit $10,000 in donations).

But the 24-year-old didn't stop there. He teamed up with other F1 drivers to organize a charity stream in the fight against Coronavirus. Titled - <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/04/17/drivers-raise-70000-as-leclerc-wins-race-for-the-world-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race For the World</a>, Norris and 5 other F1 drivers raised over $70,000 in donations.
