Lando Norris has suggested McLaren have the strongest driving pairing after his team-mate Oscar Piastri signed a new deal.
The McLaren boys are confirmed for at least the end of 2025 with both drivers now tied to longer deals and given their average age of 22.5, they could be racing in Formula 1 for decades to come.
Asked for his thoughts following his team-mate’s new deal, Norris said “he’s done everything he’s needed to.” “He’s performed, he’s done everything he’s needed to, and probably, I think, exceeded most people’s expectations from what he’s been able to achieve already this season. “We’ve had a fun first half of the season and it’s a lot of progress and I think for him to be part of that progress and to hopefully continue that into next year, ’25 and ‘26 for himself, is going to be something to look forward to.”
