A video of Lando Norris<\/a> revealing that McLaren<\/a> Racing CEO Zak Brown had promised to purchase the Briton his dream car if he won a Formula 1 drivers’ championship has resurfaced after his 2025 victory.<\/p>\n

Norris secured his first drivers’ championship victory in Abu Dhabi after finishing the race at the Yas Marina Circuit in third behind championship rivals Max Verstappen<\/a> and Oscar Piastri<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since his win, footage has resurfaced which would indicate that if Brown keeps his side of the deal, he could owe Norris a Pagani Zonda.<\/p>\n

The footage is a compilation of clips following on from a 2024 interview Norris did with The Telegraph<\/a>. “I\u2019ve got a deal with Zak \u2013 that if I win the championship he has to get me a car,” he said at the time. “I\u2019ve specified which car. We shook on it, but that\u2019s all I\u2019m saying. There\u2019s a long way to go, it\u2019s still a lot of points. But who knows?”<\/p>\n

The video then cuts to an interview with Heart Radio, where he confirms that the car that he and Brown have made a deal on is his dream car since he was a child. “I can’t say it! It’s my dream car since I was a kid but it’s not a McLaren,” he explained.<\/p>\n

In a later on-stage interview, the 26-year-old confirms his dream car is the Pagani Zonda. The sports car can range from hundreds of thousands to millions of pounds for a special edition.<\/p>\n

If Norris does in fact receive a Zonda, it will be added to an already impressive car collection. Included in his garage are a Ferrari<\/a> F40, a Porsche Carrera GT, a bespoke Land Rover Defender, a Liberty Walk\u00a0R32\u00a0Nissan Skyline GT-R, a McLaren 765LT Spider, a McLaren Senna and a Lamborghini Miura.<\/p>\n
