Lando Norris Hits Back at Criticism of New F1 Cars

Lando Norris responded to the criticism from Max Verstappen, who expressed dissatisfaction with the new Formula 1cars.
Norris noted that the cars are constantly evolving: at times they are better, at times worse, but drivers are paid significant salaries to compete with the machinery provided to them.
He added that if someone does not like the equipment, nothing prevents them from leaving yet he personally enjoys the challenge.
According to him, the cars have become slower and are not perfect in handling, but there is no reason to complain: each driver simply has their own preferences.
