via grandprix.comSchumacher reads new confidence in Norris title chargeRalf Schumacher believes that Lando Norris has shown increased confidence in the 2026 Formula 1 title race, suggesting that he may have received coaching to enhance his public persona. Schumacher's observations are based on Norris's recent assertive comments and improved performances, particularly regarding his position among the highest-paid drivers in the sport.
Despite Schumacher's speculation, there is no concrete evidence to confirm that Norris has employed a coach. The true test of Norris's capabilities will come during the upcoming race in Baku, where his performance against teammate Oscar Piastri and other title contenders will provide a clearer picture of his championship prospects.grandprix.comTue 22 Sep · 12:08 UTC
via f1oversteer.comLando Norris would never have won the 2025 title under F1’s new Grand Prix format for 2027The Formula 1 Commission has decided to reduce Grand Prix distances from 305km to 290km starting in 2027, a change prompted by concerns over fuel tank sizes due to upcoming engine regulations. This new format would have significantly altered past championship outcomes, including Lando Norris's 2025 title win, which would have gone to Max Verstappen instead.
Under the new rules, crucial moments from previous races would have had different results. For instance, Verstappen's victory in Abu Dhabi would have made him the 2025 champion, and the 2021 title fight would have seen Lewis Hamilton crowned champion instead. The changes also raise questions about other historic races, such as Jenson Button's iconic win in Canada, which would not have occurred under the new race length.
