Norris<\/a> worried that the active aerodynamics will put an end to the purity of racing.<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s different,\u201d he told the media, including PlanetF1.com, of the F1 2026 regulations. \u201cIt\u2019s good and different in different ways.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Formula 1, in terms of the pinnacle of motorsport and speed and everything, you don\u2019t get much better than what we\u2019ve had this year and the last few years.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we\u2019re going to go into next year, the gaps will be bigger. It doesn\u2019t mean racing is going to be worse. I think there are many things that are going to make racing better.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just don\u2019t want to go too artificial with things. I don\u2019t want things to be too fake, too scripted, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s correct. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not motorsport and that\u2019s not what I like.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome things will be better, the cars are going to be even slower straight and in the corners and things like that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re not going to look as spectacular in terms of performing laps. They\u2019re not going to look as quick because at the end of straights you\u2019re losing speed, you\u2019re decelerating.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it\u2019s not going to look as cool or as special. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think there are still things I would like more from the car. Just more battery, things like that. We could just have some more normality in it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s a new challenge for everyone so we should all look forward to the challenge of a new car and new regulations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s also what makes Formula 1 exciting at times. It\u2019s a fresh start for everyone. We look forward to it as a team. I think it\u2019s something we relish. As a driver, we want cars that we can just drive.\u201d<\/p>\n
F1 chief Stefano Domenicali has urged the teams and drivers to be open to the new regulations and give it time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe mindset is to be open to understand what is happening,\u201d he told The Race.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday there are so many theories that everything is possible. The right thing to do is, first of all, not to overreact, because we have seen in our experience of F1\u2026 that sometimes there has been always an overcautious approach and things have developed in different ways.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I would say, let\u2019s wait and see where we are. And then if there is the need to make some adjustment, we don\u2019t have to do it straight away.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is the time to wait a little bit to make sure that we understand exactly what we\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere could be already, potentially, some teams or manufacturers that are thinking how to evolve the development of the car, taking the benefit of the new regulations.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo the approach will be always to be curious. There will be an incredible attention of the first race of the year\u2026.but it is right to say that there is the need to give the right time and the right discussion with the FIA and the teams, to see if there are some big things that we are missing.\u201d<\/p>\n
