Lando Norris has officially joined McLaren's young driver programme ahead of the 2017 season. The 17 year old recently won the BRDC McLaren Young Driver prize at the Autosport awards.
Norris will compete in the FIA Formula 3 European championship in 2017, after racing in – and winning – three complete series last season. Executive Director at McLaren Zak Brown is delighted with the signing.
"New to us this year is Lando [Norris], with whom I’ve been working for some time," he said. "I regard Lando as a fabulous prospect – he blew the doors off his rivals in not one but three highly competitive race series last year, then capped that by establishing himself as the clear winner of the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award.
"It was an impressively mature performance, and we’ll be developing him this year as part of our simulator team, whereby he’ll be contributing directly and importantly to our Formula 1 campaign at the same time as honing and improving his technical feedback capabilities."
