F1 Champion Lando Norris Co-Founds His Own Racing Team for Young Drivers

The project will field cars in Italian F4, Formula Regional European and Formula 3 in 2027, while also backing drivers who lack funding.

  • On Wednesday, Formula One world champion Lando Norris launched his own junior racing team, LN4 Fusion, in Monza. The team will compete in the FIA Formula Regional European Championship, Italian Formula Four, and Formula Three starting in 2027.
  • Norris, who recently signed a new contract with The McLaren through 2030, intends to stay involved in racing long-term. He aims to create a family-like environment for drivers, citing his own fortunate journey as inspiration.
  • Alongside the team, Norris launched the LN4 Legacy Programme, described as "an independent, fully funded legacy scheme" to support young drivers. Based in Veneto, Italy, the team is led by team principal Rene Rosin.
  • Businessman Dan Richards, co-owner of the project, stated, "What we have created is far more than simply the acquisition of a racing team." The operation combines significant investment with world-class motorsport expertise.
  • Like three-time champion Jack Brabham, who competed for 30 years, and Max Verstappen, Norris is entering team ownership. The project seeks to expand into Formula Two, with application processes currently underway.
