McLaren driver Lando Norris said Formula 1 must eliminate batteries from its cars to deliver proper racing. He spoke after finishing third in the Miami Grand Prix and described recent energy tweaks as only a minor improvement. Norris argued that battery management continues to restrict drivers from pushing flat out.
Norris welcomed tweaks that allow more aggressive energy deployment during qualifying but stressed they fall short. He said drivers still face penalties for going flat out everywhere and cannot enjoy the cars as in past years. Norris added that the only solution is to remove the battery entirely, hoping this happens in a few years.
