Jenson Button is surprised that Lando Norris committed himself to McLaren until the end of 2025, considering his need to be in winning F1 machinery.
Jenson Button ‘surprised’ by long-term Lando Norris deal; ‘he needs a winning car’Jenson Button admitted he was “surprised” to see Lando Norris sign a long-term contract extension at McLaren, given the need to be in winning machinery to win titles.
Norris still showed impressive form throughout 2022 however, being the only non-Red Bull, Ferrari or Mercedes driver to get on the podium all year and signing a new multi-year contract extension with McLaren, reported to take him through to the end of the 2025 season. But given the reality of McLaren’s performance situation at the moment, with the team acknowledging titles may not be within their grasp until infrastructure at their factory is revamped and a new wind tunnel is in place by 2025, Button admitted surprise at seeing the 23-year-old commit to the team for such a long time to come.
