BBC Sport's F1 correspondent Andrew Benson answers your questions following Lando Norris' win at the Miami Grand Prix.
Do you think Lando Norris will be able to build the McLaren team around him with guidance from Zak Brown, to bring McLaren back to the top? – Eoin
Norris has been driving at a very high level for a long time, give or take the odd mistake here and there. And McLaren have come on in leaps and bounds under team principal Andrea Stella since he was promoted from performance director over the winter of 2022-23. At McLaren, they talk a lot about trajectory. As Stella put it after the previous race in China: “If we keep this strong trajectory for the next 12 months, why not? We may reach Red Bull.”I’m sure they’d considering him, but the mood music coming out of McLaren is not that of a team pursuing Newey hard.
“And we've got a plan and we're going to keep head down and, of course, always look for opportunities to make additive additions to the racing team.” It’s not for me to say whether he deserves a race ban, even if that was suggested by some in Miami. McLaren driver Oscar Piastri described Magnussen’s actions as “pretty average”, Australian understatement for being unimpressed.
No driver has been given a ban under this system, but Magnussen has amassed all his points since the second race of this season. But sometimes the upgrade path is such that it just happens that a development - or part of it - is not ready for both cars. That’s what happened with McLaren in Miami. Are F1 cars 'easier' to drive now than they were in the past? Drivers are having longer careers and none of them look tired after a race? – Peter
Pirellis are very thermally sensitive and they need to be kept below a certain temperature or they overheat and the performance never comes back. That lessens the physical strain on the drivers in races. You describe Adrian Newey as the GOAT design engineer. Who would be the GOAT team principal and why? Would any current principals be on the list? – EdwardIn chronological order, first of all, you have to look at Enzo Ferrari. He started off as a team principal before he founded his own company, which has since become so iconic that it is impossible to imagine F1 without it.
