Sources reveal that Lando's dad retired at age 36 after selling his pensions advisory company and amassing an estimated $250 million fortune. The Formula one driver's mother, Cisca (née Wauman), is from the Belgian province of Flanders.

Who are Lando Norris' siblings?

The McLaren star is the second born in a family of four children. Lando has two younger sisters, Flo and Cisca, and an older brother named Oliver. His brother was a competitive kart racer.

Educational background

Norris attended Millfield School in Street, Somerset, and left without completing his GCSEs. However, he had a full-time personal tutor who helped him with physics and maths. Later, his family relocated to Glastonbury to allow him to attend day school and pursue his racing career, naming Valentino Rossi as a motivation.

Career history

Norris was initially interested in motorcycle racing. His passion shifted to four wheels after his father took him and his brother to attend a round of the Super 1 National Kart Championships at his local kart circuit. At age 7, he began racing when he won the pole position in his first national event.

In 2015, he won the MSA Formula title. The driver also won the Toyota Racing Series, the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, and the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup. He also got the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award that year.

Lando was 1st at the FIA Formula 3 European Championship in 2017 as a Carlin driver. He joined McLaren in 2018 as a McLaren Young Driver Programme participant. 2021 was another record year for him, racking up four podiums at Imola, Monaco, Austria, and Monza and an overall finish of P6 in the drivers' standings.

His P2 finish in Monza helped McLaren take home the season's only 1-2 finish. This impressive year led to Lando signing a new contract, which means he stays with McLaren until at least 2025. The driver has a remarkable rookie season record and is focusing on his fourth full season in Formula 1 with McLaren in 2022.

According to reports, Lando Norris's salary is about £20 million per season. His new contract reportedly places him third on the grid of highest-earning drivers, trailing only Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
