Lando Norris

Lando Norris, a British racing prodigy and an integral part of the McLaren racing team, has been making waves in Formula One since he first stepped foot on the track. This unique biography provides an inside look into his journey from 2021 through 2023, detailing his career’s highs and lows.

In 2021, Norris exhibited remarkable prowess, securing his maiden pole position and even battling for third place. He remained with McLaren, forming a formidable partnership with Daniel Ricciardo as Carlos Sainz exited the team. Norris started the season on a high note, placing fourth in the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix. His performance only improved from there, achieving his second Formula One podium finish at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, and a third at the Monaco Grand Prix, helped by unexpected events among other drivers.

Despite facing penalties and challenges, Norris proved his mettle by consistently finishing in the top five. His performance in the Austrian Grand Prix was especially noteworthy as he started in second place and despite receiving a penalty, still managed to finish third, thus claiming his third podium of the season. He continued to perform well, moving up to third place in the drivers’ championship after the British Grand Prix.

In the Hungarian Grand Prix, despite initially improving to third place, Norris was forced to retire after a collision with Valtteri Bottas. His resilience was evidenced by his comeback at the Italian Grand Prix, where he finished second behind teammate Ricciardo, securing McLaren’s first one-two finish since 2010. Norris secured his first Formula One pole position in the Russian Grand Prix, however, he lost the lead due to worsening weather conditions. Despite not finishing higher than seventh in the remaining races of the season, he scored points in each of these races, concluding the season in the sixth place in the standings.

Moving into 2022, Norris showed no signs of slowing down. He re-signed with McLaren, securing his place in the team until at least 2025. Despite his teammate Ricciardo testing positive for COVID-19, Norris completed all three days of the Bahrain Official Preseason Testing. He secured third place in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, marking his and McLaren’s only podium finish of the year. He also made headlines at the new Miami Grand Prix, where his collision with Pierre Gasly’s AlphaTauri brought out the safety car. Even while suffering from tonsillitis, Norris displayed his determination by securing the sixth place and the fastest lap in the Monaco Grand Prix.

As of 2023, Norris continues to race with McLaren, now partnered with 2021 Formula 2 champion Oscar Piastri. The year began with a challenging Bahrain Grand Prix where Norris experienced reliability issues, finishing last among the drivers. His struggle continued in Saudi Arabia, where he qualified 19th after hitting the wall. However, in the chaotic Australian Grand Prix, Norris managed to finish sixth, helping McLaren score their first points of the season.

Lando Norris’s racing career, filled with its fair share of victories and challenges, is a testament to his resilience and determination. His journey, from 2021 to 2023, is proof of his talent and his unwavering commitment to the sport. As he continues to push boundaries and overcome obstacles, the world looks on, anticipating his next move in the thrilling world of Formula One.
