lando speaking to the press at the nürburgring about the pros and cons of the 2026 car: “i’ll re-emphasise my point about these cars: they're fun to drive, and some of these challenges can be solved with software changes”
(he says the cars are really exciting to drive) “you can push these cars, find the edge and still recover, whereas last year, it was very hard to recover the car when you pass the edge of grip.”
(but his criticism of the power unit remains) “however, this is at odds with what we need to do on the power unit, because going flat out in one corner might mean you get through that sector quicker, but by the time you get to the next straight, you lose time because you have no battery, as it's been deploying through the corners, and that is a shame”
