Which McLaren driver was listed as Norris's 2026 teammate?

The story behind the answer

Oscar Piastri was listed as Norris’s 2026 McLaren teammate.

Norris and Piastri formed McLaren’s driver pairing for a fourth consecutive season in 2026. Their partnership began when Piastri joined McLaren in 2023, creating one of Formula 1’s youngest and most closely watched line-ups. Both drivers are capable qualifiers and race winners, so the team’s internal competition has often been an important part of its championship story.

Piastri’s presence also connects directly to the Belgian Grand Prix question. At Spa in 2026, Norris started 13th after a 10-place power-unit penalty, while Piastri started from the front half of the grid and finished fifth. Norris recovered to seventh, meaning both McLaren drivers scored points.

The alternatives are drivers associated with other teams or earlier McLaren eras. Daniel Ricciardo was Norris’s former teammate, George Russell drove for Mercedes, and Carlos Sainz Jr. partnered Norris at McLaren from 2019 through 2020. Piastri, however, was the teammate listed for the 2026 season.
