[Saba Sports News] Before the Belgian Grand Prix, McLaren driver Lando Norris gave an interview to the media, where he was asked about the upcoming 2026 F1 regulations. Norris expressed his concerns about the new rules. Last June, the FIA announced the 2026 F1 regulations, and Norris expressed worry that the changes could widen the gap between teams, destroying the narrowing competitive gap. Norris believes that F1 must decide whether it wants to keep stable rules to ensure exciting competition or accept rule changes that may lead to a greater disparity among teams. He is worried that after the implementation of the 2026 rules, there might no longer be the kind of close and exciting races between drivers that were seen before. The writer believes that as a driver, Norris is expressing his opinion based on his personal experience and the current state of the sport, showing how drivers are involved in and concerned about the rules. This also reminds the FIA and event organizers that they should listen more to drivers’ opinions, as they are the direct participants in the sport, and their feelings and needs are crucial for the quality and development of the sport.
