McLaren extend F1 deal as Norris celebrates major milestone

McLaren fans and Formula 1 enthusiasts can join in celebrating Lando Norris’s 25th birthday today with a special merchandise sale on the official F1 store.

As part of the celebrations, the store is offering a 25% discount on 25 select items for a limited time, allowing fans to show support for Norris as he aims for his first world championship title.

This deal is timed perfectly as the season heads into a decisive period, with McLaren and Norris still in the running for both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships.

Norris, who has had a standout season, is competing intensely with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who’s aiming to secure his fourth consecutive title.

Their rivalry has been one of the highlights of recent races, with a series of penalties affecting both drivers.

Most recently, Verstappen received a double penalty in Mexico City, which gave McLaren an advantage in the constructors’ standings, placing them ahead of Red Bull and Ferrari.

With only three races left—starting with the Las Vegas Grand Prix next weekend, marking the final triple-header of the season—Norris’s title hopes are still alive, albeit challenging.

The British driver will need to push hard in each of the remaining races if he’s to surpass Verstappen and clinch the championship.

McLaren’s strong performance this season also brings them closer to potentially winning their first constructors’ championship since 1998.

With only 86 points left up for grabs, each race will be critical for Norris, who’s working to make up any remaining points gap.

To mark Norris’s milestone birthday and the intense final stretch of the season, McLaren’s official store is also running a sale with discounts up to 50% on various items, including a wide selection of fan-favorite merchandise.

This collection caters to fans of both Norris and his teammate, Oscar Piastri, with many items prominently featuring their driver numbers and McLaren’s signature papaya orange accents.

Popular choices among fans have been the Unisex Core Driver range, which includes t-shirts and hoodies made with breathable materials and featuring bold displays of the iconic McLaren colors.

For those who prefer more neutral tones, the sale also includes hoodies in a variety of colors beyond the classic McLaren papaya.

With such an array of items available, the sale provides an ideal opportunity for fans to pick up team apparel and show support for Norris as he fights for his maiden championship.

Norris, who will likely use his birthday as a brief respite before returning to competition, can count on support from fans who will be cheering him on through these final races.

The remaining races will be challenging, but with McLaren’s improved performance and the backing of his supporters, Norris is in a position to finish the season strong.
