Lando Norris has stated that \u201cdrivers talk too much\u201d after Fernando Alonso questioned the development pace of rival F1 teams.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The new technical regulations introduced this year have seen a significant development push from most outfits on the grid as they bid to not lose ground to the competition.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Aston Martin, who has endured a troubled start to the year, has yet to implement a significant upgrade to its AMR26 and has slipped to the rear of the pecking order.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
As it targets one singular major modification to its car around the summer break, other teams are drip-feeding updates weekend-to-weekend – a strategy that was questioned by Fernando Alonso, who cited the budget cap restraints.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The comment issued a response from Norris, insisting drivers are not in the loop when it comes to the finances of the teams.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
“I think the drivers talk too much,\u201d Norris told media including RacingNews365.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThey don’t have a Scooby-Doo. They’re not the accountants. They don’t really know how it works.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Norris added that every team has a different strategy when it comes to how they develop their cars, making comments about other squads largely irrelevant.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m not surprised at all,\u201d\u00a0he said. \u201cI think it depends how quickly you’re onto things.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cIt depends how much time you spend per item, time in the wind tunnel, all these little things.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s also efficiency of how you get parts made and get parts done.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I don’t think people can talk about other teams. Every team is doing better than the other team and you have to outperform them in every way possible.”\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lando Norris has stated that \u201cdrivers talk too much\u201d after Fernando Alonso questioned the development pace of rival…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":773081,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-773080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=773080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/773081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=773080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=773080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=773080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
