Lando Norris 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements

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 George Russell. 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.

Lando Norris: Stats and On-track Achievements

During the 2017 Formula 3 season, the McLaren #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 Carlos Sainz Jr. 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, Daniel Ricciardo 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, McLaren and Norris found their groove. 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.

The scariest moments of Lando Norris' career

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 victim of a robbery 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.

In 2021, Norris officially revealed that he was dating the Portuguese model, Luisinha Oliveira.

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.
