Norris: I don't want everything to become too fake.

      The rather radical reforms to the technical regulations that Formula 1 is preparing are worrying the drivers, and we've already quoted the views of some of them.

      Lando Norris is also wary of the upcoming changes, fearing that Formula 1 could lose some of its traditions and become overly artificial.

      The British McLaren driver expects that the gaps in results will increase, but is not entirely sure how the nature of on-track fighting will change.

      "Since Formula 1 is the pinnacle of motorsport in terms of speed and everything else, it's unlikely you can noticeably improve on this season and the last few years," RacingNews365 quotes Lando as saying. "Next year the gaps will increase, although that doesn't mean the races will be worse. I think the regulations contain quite a few elements that could only make them better.

      But I just don't want any artificial methods to be applied. I don't want everything to become too fake, too staged.

      Cornering speeds will become even lower, lap times won't be so impressive, and the cars won't seem as fast, because speeds will drop at the end of the straights. It's unlikely the races will be as much fun or become anything special.

      There are still some aspects related to what I want from the car — I want the car, the battery, and the other systems to work more efficiently. But it may turn out that everything becomes more 'ordinary'.

      New challenges await everyone, and we must be ready for that. But sometimes that's what makes Formula 1 so exciting — everyone faces a new start, and our team, too, is looking forward to it.

      We, the drivers, just want the cars to be properly drivable. To be honest, I don't like all that nonsense with the DRS systems — I just want to race, shifting gears. That's it, and that alone gives me pleasure..."
