Do F1 fans appreciate Lando Norris enough?

Do F1 fans appreciate Lando Norris enough?

Author: Motor Sport September 17, 2026 Duration: 50:39

Madrid's Madring circuit was every bit as flawed as predicted - but was Lando Norris's masterclass the real story of the weekend? And is he now as fast or faster than Max Verstappen?


Mark Hughes and Bryn Lucas break down the Spanish Grand Prix at Madring, dissecting the circuit's one-line layout, the chaos around the venue, and whether next year's tweaks can actually fix it.


Plus: how Norris's pole lap and title-worthy form have fans finally catching up to what Mark says has always been there, and why a badly timed VSC cost him the win he deserved.
