The reigning World Drivers' Champion enters 2026 as the man to beat. Norris arrived in Formula 1 with McLaren in 2019 after a strong junior career, scoring his first podium in 2020 and becoming a regular front-runner from 2021 onwards. His long-awaited maiden Grand Prix victory came at Miami in 2024, the breakthrough that turned him from frequent contender into title threat.
The 2025 season saw Norris finally convert that pace into a championship, outscoring his rivals across the year to claim his first World Drivers' title. He returns for his seventh F1 season on a long-term McLaren contract, carrying the number 1 if he chooses to use it, with the new regulations giving him a chance to defend his crown in a reset field.
