I’ve shown that I know how to make a difference in the championship of 2020. I’ve seen quite a few different winners and I hope he gets a chance with Pol in 2023 to show what MotoGP is all about. I think we’ve done everything possible to find out…the hardest step in a very competitive point, but we believe in him and he believes in us. and that is the best reason to move forward.

Formula 1 champion Nico Rosberg has weighed in on whether Lando Norris will follow in his footsteps and end his career in the sport early.
Norris joins a list of 35 drivers who have won the F1 championship in the championship’s 75-year history. But the Briton won his first title the hard way; Despite McLaren’s dominance in 2025, he lost to Oscar Piastri in the first half of the season and only defended the championship against Max Verstappen at the end of the season in Abu Dhabi.
Nico Rosberg shared his memories of his title and then unexpectedly retired at the age of 31.
He then embarked on a tough challenge with his partner Lewis Hamilton, in which the pilot required enormous physical and emotional resources.
Rosberg stated that Norris was unlikely to follow a similar path as he was much younger and had many more years in F1.
“Everyone chooses their own path. I felt that I had reached the top and wanted to leave the top. It was a great moment after a long career. For me personally, it was the right decision.”
I understand that many were disappointed because it was a great fight at the time. But in Lando’s case, I’m sure he’s not even thinking about such a thing. He still has many good years ahead of him and he is definitely younger than I was then,” Rosberg explained.

The Ferrari, Audi and Aston Martin teams have filed a joint lawsuit with the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) over the advantage that Mercedes and Red Bull may have in the 2026 season under the new technical regulations, The Race reports.
In 2026, Formula 1 will switch to new technical regulations, which provide for a reduction in the fuel compression ratio in power plants from 18:1 to 16:1. This indicator will be monitored off the track.
According to the source, Mercedes and Red Bull have found a way to pass the tests while maintaining the actual race compression ratio at 18:1. This could give teams an advantage of 0.3-0.4 seconds per lap.
— The regulations clearly define the maximum compression ratio and the method for measuring it, based on static conditions at ambient temperature. This procedure remains unchanged despite the reduction in the permissible compression ratio for 2026, the FIA said in a statement.
The FIA does not intend to change the regulations at least until the tests are carried out. Teams are allowed to update their power unit designs every six races of the season.

I am a sports journalist who has written for a number of Sportish. I have a background in journalism and have been writing since I was young. My main focus is sports news, but I also write about general news. I am currently working as an author at Sportish.
Max Verstappen shared his first impressions of the sound of the new generation Formula 1 power plants created according to the 2026 technical regulations.
Next season, the championship will see the most comprehensive changes to engine architecture since the introduction of turbo-hybrid units in 2014. The regulations foresee the abandonment of the MGU-H system, as well as a significant increase in the role of the electrical component; The ratio between the internal combustion engine and the electric motor will be 50 to 50.
Even though there is just over a month until the cars hit the track, Verstappen was pleased to hear the new engine was running.
Verstappen said: “It sounds good. Of course you hear it in the stands, but the sound is clear and pleasant. I don’t think anyone has specifically worked on the noise but it’s really good.” he said.
For the first time in its history, the Red Bull team is building its own power plant, working in partnership with the American automobile giant Ford.
Verstappen wants to challenge for the Formula One title again in the 2026 season after his tense championship defeat to Lando Norris this month. However, the Dutch pilot plans to take a break from F1 before the new season starts.
“I’m really looking forward to it – I really need it. I also want to make sure that everything I do within the program next year will be well prepared, especially the GT3 project. That’s the most important thing for me at the moment, that everything is in the right state,” summarized the pilot.
