Lando Norris has said he is “willing to accept” McLaren losing out to other teams in a potential change of power amid F1’s new regulations cycle.
Lando Norris expressed his readiness to embrace the possibility of McLaren being surpassed by other teams under the new Formula 1 regulations cycle. McLaren enjoyed dominance in the past two seasons, culminating in a double-championship victory in 2025, following their Constructors’ title in 2024. Despite Norris winning the Drivers’ title by a narrow margin in the formidable MCL39 car, the upcoming MCL40 faces the challenge of maintaining McLaren’s winning streak amid the regulation changes.
