Miami – May 10, 2025 — Lando Norris has firmly denied any involvement or communication with the upcoming Cadillac Formula 1 project, shutting down mounting speculation that linked him to the Andretti-Cadillac entry ahead of their potential 2026 debut.
Rumors of Cadillac’s interest in Norris began circulating after several reports suggested that informal discussions had taken place between the driver and representatives of the American outfit during the Miami Grand Prix weekend. These claims quickly gained traction online, fueling debate about whether Norris could be eyeing a future outside McLaren.
Speaking to reporters after the race, Norris dismissed the reports as baseless. “I’ve had no talks with Cadillac or Andretti,” he said. “I’m fully committed to McLaren. We’ve been making great progress, and I’m excited about what lies ahead with this team.”
Norris has been a central figure in McLaren’s resurgence, consistently delivering strong performances this season. With multiple podium finishes and McLaren closing the gap to Red Bull and Ferrari, Norris’ value as one of the sport’s top young talents has only grown. His long-term contract with McLaren runs through the end of the 2027 season.
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella also weighed in, calling the rumors “completely unfounded” and emphasizing that Norris remains “a cornerstone of McLaren’s future.” The team has made significant strides in performance and infrastructure, with recent upgrades showing strong results on track.
Cadillac, in partnership with Andretti Global, is currently awaiting final approval from the FIA for a full-time Formula 1 entry. While the team has expressed interest in building a competitive driver lineup, they issued a brief statement denying any official approach to Norris.
The speculation surrounding Norris comes amid growing activity in the driver market, with several teams evaluating their lineups ahead of the 2026 regulation overhaul. Despite the noise, Norris has remained focused, helping McLaren maintain their momentum in both the Constructors’ and Drivers’ Championships.
With clear statements from both Norris and McLaren, the team has effectively silenced the Cadillac rumors, reaffirming their united direction as the season continues.
