Lando Norris rubbishes Max Verstappen claim with 'better driver' point

Lando Norris has responded to Max Verstappen's comments regarding the impact of new power unit energy algorithms on driver performance in Formula 1. Verstappen expressed frustration, claiming that these algorithms restrict drivers from making a significant difference during races. In contrast, Norris believes that skilled drivers can still find ways to gain an advantage, particularly in cornering, despite the limitations imposed by the technology.

Norris pointed out that while some corners may reduce the potential for overtaking, there are still opportunities for better drivers to excel. He highlighted the need for drivers to adapt their techniques due to changes in battery management and tire characteristics. Ultimately, Norris maintains that driver skill remains a crucial factor in achieving success on the track, even with the evolving technology in F1.
