### Lando Norris  
Oscar Piastri

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have both inked long-term deals with McLaren that should keep them both at the team until at least the end of 2027 - and in Piastri's car, the end of 2028\. 

## Mercedes

### George Russell\*

George Russell and Kimi Antonelli were only [confirmed for 2026 in October 2025](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/mercedes-2026-f1-driver-lineup-russell-antonelli-contracts-verstappen/), and nothing beyond 2026 was communicated within that announcement, although The Race understands both drivers have multi-year deals with various options that can be triggered for extensions.

So while not officially confirmed for 2027, there's no reason to believe the line-up will change.
