Norris delivers scathing verdict on new F1 cars: 'From best to worst'
McLaren's Lando Norris has delivered a harsh assessment of F1's new cars, calling them the "worst" to drive after coming from the "best." He criticizes their unpredictable nature, the constant need to lift off throttle, and the excessive focus on steering wheel data, aligning with Max Verstappen's earlier complaints and highlighting a growing driver consensus on the issue.
Lando Norris has launched a blistering critique of Formula 1's new-generation cars, labeling them a dramatic step backwards from their predecessors. The McLaren driver, who qualified P6 for the Australian Grand Prix, described the 2026-spec machines as "odd" and "probably the worst" to drive, citing a fundamental disconnect between driver input and car performance that forces constant compromise and excessive reliance on data screens.
