The Race F1 Podcast · Mailbag: Is Norris '27 title favourite + Why does F1 keep adding soulless street tracks? · 15 Sep 2026 podcast

I think drivers like him and Piastri, Alex Albon, probably Leclerc as well, who... matched

In the previous generation, we're leaning a lot more on the ballsy element of how brave can I be in these corners, particularly the high speed, find that extra bit when you're grip limited rather than power limited has been a thing and it's down to them to adapt. matched

I think they are doing it, but it can be a slow process. matched

And maybe Russell just won't get there. matched

Maybe Anthony Lee is just that good. matched

I mean, he was, to be fair, in the previous generation of cars, getting there, wasn't he? matched

Towards the end of the season, you just started to see these flashes of special tyre management in a race. matched

I think of Vegas, where he did the longest stint of anyone and just came through on those tyres. matched

He put Russell in his place in Brazil as well, which is one of Russell's better tracks ever. matched

up against Lewis Hamilton. matched

So the signs were there and it could just be that actually Anthony Lee is so good it doesn't matter what car you stick him in. matched

It's the same argument with the McLaren thing earlier, isn't it? matched

Like Norris winning three races out of four could be the start of a trend that carries McLaren towards championship challenge again or it could just be a particular sample set based on circuit characteristics and they go through a fallow period again. matched

I think the disappointing thing for Russell apart from obviously the one championship matched

firm championship chance getting away from him and pretty much being gone now, is that other drivers in a similar situation have started to turn it around. matched

If you take Max Verstappen, he hates these cars, hates these rules. matched

I think hasn't driven at his best in the first part of the year because he's been wrestling with this. matched

And then he's sort of come to terms with it and started to be better. matched

And you're starting to see him grab these... matched

race results that he has no right getting a few podiums his teammates have been closer to him but he's still beating them so even a kind of contained Max who can't use maybe this super sensitive mouse style attack the corners in the same way because of the way the cars are now he's finding a way to make it work for him just about the clerk I think has yo-yoed a bit but is pretty close to Hamilton and you can't say he's having a bad season but matched
