Former F1 team boss: “I disagree. I wrote about it throughout the season.”
Former Haas team manager Günter Steiner has come to the defense of Lando Norris, who some fans and pundits regard as an unworthy Formula 1 champion.
Max Verstappen’s run of four consecutive world titles ended last season when Norris won a tight three-way title fight at the final round in Abu Dhabi.
The British driver thus became the first British Formula 1 champion since Lewis Hamilton in 2020, and the first McLaren driver to win the championship since Hamilton in 2008.
However, Norris faced a wave of criticism immediately after winning his first championship. While some experts and fans stated that the title was undeserved, it was claimed that the McLaren team preferred him over teammate Oscar Piastri.
The turning point of the season was a technical error at the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, which caused Norris to retire from the race and fall 34 points behind Piastri. After that, many, including Steiner himself, eliminated the Briton from title contention.
However, the Italian admitted that he was wrong in his assessments and emphasized that any doubts that Norris deserved his title were unfounded.
Steiner said, “I don’t agree with that. He definitely deserves that title. Lando fought until the end.”
We all wrote him off throughout the season, especially me, but he bravely returned to the fight and that’s why he became world champion.
“He has learned his lessons and avoided the mistakes he made at the beginning of the season.”

Legendary Formula 1 pilot Heinz-Harald Frentzen expressed an unexpected opinion about who will win the championship title in the 2026 season.
Frentzen raced in F1 from 1994 to 2003, competing for five different teams: Sauber, Williams, Jordan, Prost and Arous. But despite countless appearances, he was never at the right place and time to compete for the title.
In the fourth season, Frentzen became vice-champion of the Jordanian team, losing only to teammate Jacques Villeneuve after Michael Schumacher was disqualified in the final standings. This remains his best result in his career.
Just before the start of the 2026 season, as 11 teams prepared to subject their cars to new technical regulations, 58-year-old Frentzen published an unexpected prediction on social media.
Frentzen’s former Jordan teammate Damon Hill asked him at “X” who would win the title in 2026, and Frentzen replied:
“Fernando Alonso.”
Two-time champion Fernando Alonso is preparing to start his 23rd season in Formula 1, his fourth with Aston Martin. The team was actively preparing for the 2026 season by investing all the necessary resources in the car and inviting the best experts from Mercedes, Red Bull, Ferrari and other teams. Among the main experts is the legendary engineer Adrian Newey.
