Lando Norris explains constant F1 struggle amid regulations reset

Lando Norris has stated that he has had to adapt his driving style every single year since his F1 debut with McLaren in 2019, pushing back on suggestions that the 2026 regulations reset is uniquely challenging. The 2026 Formula 1 season has introduced sweeping technical changes, including a 50-50 split between battery and internal combustion engine power, replacing the previous ground effects cars. While Lewis Hamilton has appeared to thrive under the new rules, George Russell has struggled, falling behind his 19-year-old teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli in the championship standings after 11 rounds.
