Mailbag: Is Lando Norris the 2027 F1 title favourite already?

In the first of our new regular post-race mailbag shows from The Race F1 Podcast, presented by Atlassian, Edd Straw is joined by Ben Anderson to tackle questions sent in by The Race Members' Club after the Spanish Grand Prix. Among the topics covered this time are whether F1 should consider allowing no-stop strategies, why F1 keeps adding soulless street circuits at the expense of classics, and whether Lando Norris should already be considered the 2027 title favourite. There are also questions about Franco Colapinto's season so far, whether the latest generation of F1 cars is flattering Kimi Antonelli (and hurting George Russell), McLaren's pitstop problems, and a pair of F3 prospects - namely recently crowned champion Ugo Ugochukwu and Audi junior Freddie Slater. 00:00 Welcome to the mailbag! 01:31 Zero-stop races? 05:23 McLaren's pitstop problems 08:44 Norris's 2027 title-favourite status 10:54 Why F1 keeps adding these tracks 17:59 Are these cars just flattering Antonelli? 26:34 Lawson's stand-in spell assessed 29:49 Colapinto's growth 39:53 F1 drivers' name-calling 43:30 Audi junior's inevitable rise Presented by ‪@Atlassian‬ #f1 #f1podcast #formula1 #mclaren #mclarenf1 #landonorris #madring #mercedes #mercedesf1 #georgerussell #kimiantonelli #francocolapinto Get bonus F1 podcasts, extra content and ad-free listening - sign up to The Race Members' Club on Patreon today:   / therace
