Lando Norris has declared that โ€œthere was nothing I could doโ€ to avoid the circumstances that contributed to his surprise Q1 exit at Formula 1โ€™s Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Norris entered this round with McLaren having disclosed earlier in the week that it is now prepared to provide more support to his title hopes against Max [โ€ฆ]

โ€œI think everything is going have to be done with strategy, because you canโ€™t overtake"

I still feel this needs addressing. Whether it be through making adjustments to make overtaking feasible (either in the track or the car regulations), adjusting the rules to force more pitstops and therefore provide more opportunities for these strategy calls to play out, or by not racing at tracks that don't make racing feasible.

We'll see how the race actually goes but if you have one of the fastest cars on the track and can't get through to the front runners because "you can't overtake" then something is wrong. Hoping Lando is wrong there.

On the other hand, would be hilarious if Oscar ended up closing the gap to Lando and we're back to McLaren not sure who they should push.
