McLaren has confirmed that Lando Norris will test the McLaren MCL32 next week in Hungary as part of the second in-season test of the year. The test will mark the first time the youngster has driven a 2017 spec car, having joined McLaren as a development driver at the start of the season.

The Formula 3 racer will drive the car next Wednesday, which will be the second day of running. Tuesday will see full-time McLaren driver Stoffel Vandoorne driving the car. Norris has been making headlines for his talent, starting with becoming the youngest ever karting world champion in 2014.

2015 saw him become champion in the MSA Formula Championship, while last year he came out on top in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and the Toyota Racing Series. Currently, Norris lies third in the FIA Formula 3 European championship and is chasing that title too, with three wins so far this year.

    A great upcoming talent. I am curious to see his career develop further, but one thing is for sure, he'll be a McLaren F1 driver.
