Lando Norris: Ferrari would "embarrass" F1 rivals with stronger engine

McLaren driver Lando Norris has claimed that Ferrari would 'embarrass' its Formula 1 rivals if it had a stronger engine, noting the team possesses the best chassis on the grid in 2026. Mercedes dominated the opening six races of the season through George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, before Lewis Hamilton broke that streak by winning the Barcelona Grand Prix for Ferrari using a heavily-upgraded car package. However, ADUO performance data indicates Ferrari's engine is over 4% behind the benchmark set by Red Bull, with Mercedes sitting 2-4% back, highlighting a significant power unit deficit for the Scuderia.
