About
Lando Norris is the defending world champion. The Briton, with McLaren since his debut, finally converted years of near misses into the 2025 title, and he remains one of the most popular drivers on the grid.
His 2026 defence ended early, but the speed never left: at Interlagos he won from pole in the wet, a champion’s drive in a season without the crown at stake. He is sixth in the standings on 221 points, racing for pride and winning anyway.
