Summary
£30 million a year will put Lando Norris third on the 2026 F1 pay list after McLaren extended the reigning champion through at least 2030.
Norris said the new deal is "certainly not close" to Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen's reported £50 million-plus salaries, despite online speculation he could match them.
The 26-year-old argued he should eventually earn the same because he believes he can fight Hamilton and Verstappen on equal terms, even if his career achievements still trail theirs.
McLaren announced the multi-year extension ahead of Monza, with Norris calling the team his home and saying the goal now is to keep winning after restoring the team to the front.
