Lando Norris admits that Max Verstappen would be a “miss” for Formula One should the Dutchman retire from the sport at the end of the season.
Four-time F1 world champion Verstappen has repeatedly voiced his disdain for F1’s new era in 2026, describing the new regulations as “anti-racing” and “like Formula E on steroids”, such is the focus on energy management. Red Bull are also struggling, languishing sixth in the championship standings, with Verstappen ninth in the drivers’ leaderboard.
