Lando Norris took to the track in McLaren’s new Le Mans Hypercar at Portimao, logging 38 laps and 177 miles to test fresh parts and lend his F1 expertise—joining 2027 drivers Mikkel Jensen and Laurens Vanthoor as McLaren gears up for WEC next year. It’s a rare thrill for Norris to drive outside F1, and he embraced the chance to have fun while helping shape the car’s future.

Team boss James Barclay praised Norris’s quick adaptation and valuable input, hinting at even more opportunities ahead.
