The Monaco Grand Prix saw the experimentation of a new F1 rule – one that Lando Norris was not a big fan of!
Lando Norris expressed his concern about the new mandatory two pit stop rule at the Monaco Grand Prix, calling it “scary.”
Formula 1 introduced this rule to shake up the typical race outcomes at Monaco, where overtaking is often challenging.
Drivers had to make two stops during the race or face significant time penalties, adding an element of strategy and unpredictability.
Max Verstappen was leading late in the race but had to pit, gifting Norris the lead thanks to a strong pit stop by Red Bull.
Despite winning the race, Norris admitted he didn’t enjoy the rule change, emphasizing that it made the race more nerve-wracking for him.
He acknowledged that the rule was implemented to enhance the fans’ viewing experience, rather than favoring the drivers.
When asked about the possibility of the rule returning next year, Norris humorously replied, “It depends where I start!”
