World champion Lando Norris has called for a better balance between business and sport in Formula 1 ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix. He said Audi’s entry triggered rule changes that give drivers little say, while McLaren currently leads the championship. Norris, who won the 2023 title, criticised the way commercial decisions can override sporting fairness. The 25-year-old added that the recent Audi partnership prompted changes to the technical regulations, which he feels were imposed without adequate driver consultation. He also noted that McLaren’s current position at the front of the standings is a result of the new rules, but that the drivers’ influence remains limited. The Hungarian Grand Prix is scheduled for Sunday, and Norris’s comments come as teams prepare to race under the updated regulations. His remarks highlight growing concerns among drivers about the growing commercialisation of the sport and the need for greater transparency in decision-making processes.
