Norris says Madring and F1’s virtual safety car rule both need to change

MADRID – Formula One’s newest circuit needs to change, and so does the virtual safety car (VSC) rule, world champion Lando Norris said after losing a Spanish Grand Prix win that was his for the taking. Fears of carnage — crashes and red flags — failed to materialize at the top level of racing but the first F1 race at the capital’s Madring circuit turned into a procession that even some drivers said had risked sending them to sleep. Useless,” said Norris, who finished third.
