McLaren has announced British teenage sensation Lando Norris will be its test and reserve driver for the 2018 Formula One season.
Norris, who claimed nine victories on his way to sealing this year's European Formula 3 title in his rookie campaign, got his first taste of McLaren's 2017 F1 challenger when he took part in the final day of in-season testing after the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The 18-year-old was dubbed a "star of the future" by McLaren racing director Eric Boullier following his impressive performance in the test and will take over the reserve duties previously carried out by Jenson Button, who made a one-off return to F1 in May's Monaco Grand Prix when he acted as stand-in for Fernando Alonso, who was contesting the Indy 500.
