Lando Norris

Lando Norris acknowledges that he finds the experience of racing the newer cars to be considerably different and hard. Considering the earlier era following the introduction of new technical restrictions into the Formula 1 for the 2022 season. The 2022 season employed a new regulation. The automobiles’ aerodynamics, tyres, wings, fuel, and wheel guards all underwent changes. In an effort to increase safety and encourage more competitive racing on the circuit.

Lando Norris has agreed with Alpine’s competitor Esteban Ocon that the vehicles aren’t as enjoyable to drive as they could be. The McLaren driver openly informed, “I hate driving the cars compared to last year.” Even with setup, Lando claims that it is somewhat more constrained. For drivers, the general rule is to go as low and stiff as possible; if it’s too stiff, go a little softer. In contrast to prior years, where there was always a lot more to alter and test. The drivers always ended up with different weekends with different answers.

Esteban Ocon, who Norris agrees with, claims that the newest model is “not as entertaining” to race as its contemporaries. A number of drivers have expressed their opinions on how the newer challengers feel to drive. When asked if he thought things would get better in the upcoming years, Norris replied: “Unless there are big changes, I don’t know.” He is unaware of the modifications they have in mind. According to Lando Norris, things will only ever become worse because the more downforce applied to the car, the worse it will become.

After testing such cars in the middle of the 2022 season. The Alpine driver Ocon thinks the older vehicles are better to drive. Esteban Ocon has claimed that the 2022 Formula 1 aerodynamic era hasn’t produced exciting racing automobiles, with the Frenchman conceding that the 2021 machinery is more enjoyable to operate.

Due to the changes made last year, a bunch of drivers on the grid are unsatisfied. According to Lando, driving the new cars is more difficult than it was in the 2021 season. Just in terms of how comfortable they are and how much you can mess around with hitting the kerbs, lines, and other stuff like that, he wouldn’t say they’re as pleasurable as 2021 seasons’ automobiles. It’s a little less restricted now.
