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

But for Russell and I think Piastri, they seem to have taken a noticeable dip this year compared to where they were. matched

And it seems to be taking them longer to come out of that dip. matched

And what I wonder about is as these cars develop and the downforce increases and the grip comes back and teams inevitably just make them faster and more like they were, will these drivers come back in to the picture again? matched

Or will they just still be pummeled by drivers like Norris and Antonelli, who are also, as you say, improving and adapting all the time? matched

Then you'll get, in the broad view, that better picture of, oh, is Russell just not at Antonelli's level? matched

And was he just unlucky that the timing of having a good car that could win the championship just happened to coincide with this other driver coming in and flourishing? matched

As you mentioned with Antonelli, you don't know what Lindblad's ceiling is, but he's come in and set a very good baseline for himself. matched

With Lawson, you kind of know or have a better idea of what the ceiling is. matched

And if you look at a race like Madrid, where Verstappen's stealing a second place, Lawson was nowhere in that mix in the same car. matched

And that's what you're going to get. matched
