Norris slams 2026 F1 cars as 'worst ever' after championship-winning season
Reigning champion Lando Norris has joined Max Verstappen in heavily criticizing F1's 2026 cars, calling them the "worst" he's driven. He cites constant battery management, significant power deficits in corners, and a complete lack of driving joy as core problems, starkly contrasting with the peak performance of the previous generation's cars.
Lando Norris has delivered a scathing assessment of Formula 1's 2026 cars, labeling them "probably the worst" to drive and claiming the sport has traded its best-ever machinery for a fundamentally flawed product. The reigning world champion's criticism, aligning with Max Verstappen's earlier complaints, centers on a distracting and unenjoyable driving experience dictated by managing the new 50/50 power unit split.
