All About Lando Norris' Parents, Adam Norris and Cisca Wauman

Lando Norris’ biggest supporters are his parents, Adam Norris and Cisca Wauman.

The couple, who have been together for more than 25 years, also have a son Oliver and daughters Flo and Cisco.

Lando made his Formula One debut in the 2019 Formula One World Championship, according to his website. At 24, Lando became the youngest British Formula 1 driver in history after spending the 2018 season as a Test & Reserve driver for McLaren. He dominated the 2020 and 2021 seasons with a record number of podiums. Lando then took his first career win at the Formula 1 Crypto.com Grand Prix in Miami in May 2024.

Although Adam and Cisca weren’t there to celebrate their son’s triumph in person, they said the moment was an emotional turning point for the entire family.

“It was amazing. I think you saw 110 [races]and I’ve lost count of the 900 races I’ve been to in the last 16 years. It’s been a while, but it’s here. We got there,” Adam told Sky Sports after Lando’s big win. “People don’t realize that there are as many bad days as there are good days. It’s been five years and you think, ‘OK, that’s it. There are too many, too many weekends away from home, away from family.’ But it makes it all worth it.”

The couple raised a house full of talented athletes, including sons Oliver and Lando and daughters Flo and Cisco.

Similar to his younger brother, Oliver had a successful career in karting until his retirement from the sport in 2014. He married long-term girlfriend Savannah Norris in May 2022, and the couple have a daughter, Mila.

Born in 2002, Flo is one of Lando’s younger sisters. She is an international show jumper in Great Britain, where she competes in equestrian events such as dressage, dressage, hunters and dressage.

Cisca, who has the same name as her mother, is the youngest of the Norris clan and supports her talented siblings away from the limelight.

By the age of 36, Adam had retired from his corporate job at Hargreaves Lansdown. In 2007, the company was recognized as the UK’s largest direct-to-consumer pensions retailer.

When Hargreaves Lansdown went public, Adam retired from the business to spend more time with his family. In an interview with Barclays 2023, Adam said he has no plans to slow down anytime soon and detailed that he hopes to build different businesses for the next 20 to 30 years.

“So even though I achieved financial success at a very young age, I realized that I got more satisfaction out of building something than spending money. I enjoy building things and I enjoy solving problems,” he explained.

While appearing on Olympian Tom Daley Made with love podcast, Lando took the moment to give an emotional salute to his mother for her continued love and support.

“I want to give you a huge thank you for all the times you’ve dealt with me and for all the help and support you gave me when I was a little boy to make me the person I am today. Also, for supporting me in the work I do, for spending so much time away from you, my sisters and everyone else, and for making me the man I am today. I think I’m a good guy. I try to be and a lot of it is because of you. Well, thanks, mom!” Lando said in the podcast.

Lando will be the first to admit that he grew up with a “privileged” lifestyle, which included “having a manager and coach from the age of 12.” However, the F1 racer said that things were not handed to him in any way.

“There are many things that my dad gave me, or, I would say, invested in me. But it is an investment, not a default. I have to return that investment and reward him and use what he gave me to show that everything was useful and not a waste of time,” he said on High performance podcast in 2024

“One thing my mom and dad did really well was keep me grounded,” Lando continued. “[They help me] live as normal a life as possible [and] do not get carried away in any way.”
