Lando Norris expresses doubt about the excitement surrounding the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix sprint race, stating, "I don't think it is." The Marina Bay Street Circuit will host its first-ever sprint race, with teams having only one practice session to get familiar with the track before going into competitive running. This adds a level of complication to an already challenging weekend.
Norris acknowledges the difficulty of getting up to speed quickly on a street circuit with these cars and sees it as a significant challenge. However, he looks forward to the sprint format from a driving style perspective, as he feels comfortable with certain aspects of the track and can adapt quickly. Norris believes that despite the lack of practice, his team can still be competitive in Singapore.
