Lando Norris has harshly criticized the newly-built Madring circuit after the Spanish Grand Prix, calling for significant changes and claiming it is not a great racetrack. The reigning world champion was unlucky to miss out on a victory, losing out due to a slow McLaren pit stop just after a Lap 14 Virtual Safety Car. Despite this, Norris finished third in the race, behind Max Verstappen and eventual winner Kimi Antonelli.
The Spanish GP pole-sitter felt the circuit did not encourage overtaking, with the narrow track and two chicanes making it nearly impossible to pass rivals. Other drivers, including Gabriel Bortoleto from Audi, George Russell, and Nico Rosberg, have echoed Norris' sentiment, with Rosberg even blaming Madring ambassador Carlos Sainz for the lack of overtakes.
Norris joked about the track after the race, but then explained his disappointment, arguing that the circuit could be transformed into a great racing venue with the right modifications.
