Norris outlines key F1 driver ‘risk’

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


A number of rookies drivers will join the F1 grid next year – but there is a great risk associated with handing opportunities to juniors, believes Lando Norris.

Lando Norris emphasized the ongoing risk involved in promoting a rookie to a full-time seat in F1, despite the current trend favoring young talents. Next season will witness the debut of at least three rookie drivers, including Kimi Antonelli, Oliver Bearman, and Jack Doohan. Liam Lawson is given a chance to compete for the remainder of this season with RB, while Franco Colapinto’s strong performance during his mid-season call-up at Williams has tied him to a potential move to Red Bull in the upcoming season. With many teams turning towards youthful drivers, Norris pointed out the challenges associated with such promotions, stressing the importance of consistency and long-term performance in F1. While he acknowledged the natural skill of young drivers to quickly adapt to driving a Formula 1 car, Norris underlined the significance of sustaining a high level of performance throughout a full season, which encompasses 24 races and long-term development.
