F1 chief lays down the law as Norris McLaren ban confirmed

Formula 1 star Lando Norris has revealed McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown has banned him from taking part in another FIA motorsport series.

In 2025, Norris has endured a four-race win drought, allowing team-mate and new championship rival Oscar Piastri to gain a 10-point advantage over the Brit after five rounds of the season.

Former Ferrari general manager Peter Windsor recently suggested Norris should ditch social media in order to help his career and championship chances, and now Norris himself has suggested his team have banned him from another activity away from F1.

F1 racers adhere to strict team orders

In 2024, Max Verstappen revealed his team didn’t let him go skiing, suggesting there was a clause in his current Red Bull contract preventing him from taking part in dangerous activities.

Norris certainly doesn’t need any added chance of missing an F1 race this season, already sitting 10 points behind Piastri and desperately needing to bounce back at the upcoming Miami GP.
