Norris' advice to unhappy drivers: 'Do a better job'

Lando Norris, who won the F1 drivers' championship last year with McLaren, has responded to Mercedes' struggles by advising unhappy drivers to 'do a better job' and adapt to their cars. Kimi Antonelli leads the 2026 championship standings and could become the youngest F1 champion in history at the Mexico Grand Prix, sitting just two points ahead of teammate George Russell after his ninth win of the season in Austin. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff acknowledged that the 2026 car does not suit Russell's driving style, with Russell himself admitting the new regulations have hindered him due to his rear-tyre-heavy throttle approach.
