Norris signed a new deal on Wednesday which keeps him at McLaren for years to come and team principal Andreas Seidl described the decision as "very straightforward".
"Lando has impressed us since his rookie year with his performances, and his evolution as a driver since then has been clear to see," Seidl said.
"He’s an integral part of our performance recovery plan and his record so far, securing two podiums with the team over the past year, has shown he’s a formidable competitor on track.
"In Lando and Daniel [Ricciardo] we have a hugely talented and exciting driver line-up, and this announcement is a strong signal of commitment to the next chapter for McLaren from 2022 onwards."
Mercedes are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they were followed by Red Bull Racing-Honda and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
