Despite an agreed overhaul set to take effect next season, Norris believes these changes don’t go far enough to improve racing. This year’s F1 regulations introduced a near 50-50 split between combustion engine power and electrical energy. This hybrid system requires drivers to manage their battery usage actively, including reducing speed on parts of qualifying laps to conserve energy for faster overall times.
