Lando Norris exhorte la Formule 1 à supprimer les batteries

Le pilote McLaren Lando Norris a déclaré que la Formule 1 devait éliminer les batteries de ses voitures pour offrir une véritable course. Il s'est exprimé après avoir terminé troisième du Grand Prix de Miami, qualifiant les récents ajustements énergétiques de mineurs. Norris a fait valoir que la gestion de la batterie empêche toujours les pilotes de rouler à fond.

Norris a salué les ajustements permettant un déploiement d'énergie plus agressif pendant les qualifications, mais a souligné qu'ils restent insuffisants. Il a affirmé que les pilotes subissent toujours des pénalités s'ils attaquent partout et ne peuvent pas profiter des voitures comme par le passé. Norris a ajouté que la seule solution est de supprimer complètement la batterie, espérant que cela se produise dans quelques années.
