Lando Norris is a generational-level driver, the highest-rated active competitor on this database's scale at 8,794 and FIA Platinum graded. He races in Formula 1, an international single-seater championship, for McLaren, driving for the team across a decade and more of Grands Prix.[1]

His route ran through the same ladder McLaren's junior programme has long used: British F4 champion with Carlin in his first season in 2015, Formula Renault Eurocup champion with Josef Kaufmann Racing in 2016, FIA Formula 3 European champion with Carlin in 2017, two seasons of Formula 2 with Carlin, and then Formula 1 with McLaren from 2019. In 2025 he won the Formula 1 World Championship with McLaren, his fourth title overall and the only one so far at Formula 1 level. Across every series indexed here he has taken 40 wins and 119 podiums from 291 starts.[2]

The Formula 1 grid he races most often includes George Russell, a champion in GP3 and Formula 2 before his current career, and Max Verstappen, a four-time Formula 1 champion; Norris has beaten Russell 96 times and Verstappen 30 times in their shared starts, and the two of them, along with Alexander Albon, an elite-level Formula 1 regular Norris usually finishes ahead of, make up the company he keeps most often. Against Russell specifically the record is close rather than one-sided.
