According to Zak Brown, Lando Norris showed exceptional skills and was the fastest driver in the race. He achieved his long-awaited first victory in Formula 1 in the recent race. The entire McLaren team celebrated his impressive performance. Norris, who is 24 years old, successfully defended his position against Max Verstappen, despite the latter suffering damage to his chassis. Verstappen expressed his happiness for Norris and his remarkable achievement. In light of this, McLaren CEO Zak Brown shared his thoughts on the battle between the two drivers.
Although the Red Bull RB20 chassis has proven to be highly competitive, they have already lost two out of the six races held so far, including the race in which Norris claimed his first victory. Therefore, Brown believed that Norris could defeat Verstappen in a fair competition. He described it as an « incredible fight » and acknowledged that it could end in tears for one or both drivers.
Furthermore, Zak Brown expressed his belief that Lando Norris possesses unmatched talent. He considered Max Verstappen equally fast when it comes to racing on the circuit. However, Brown acknowledged that not everyone would agree with him, especially considering Verstappen’s dominant performances. Brown suggested that if both drivers had the same car, it would reveal the true extent of their abilities.
Lando Norris left no stone unturned to secure his impressive victory. Despite McLaren’s confidence in Norris’ abilities, Zak Brown boldly stated that Norris was the fastest driver on the track, disregarding Verstappen’s performances. McLaren will continue to support Norris and provide him with the best possible challenge on the track to achieve similar successes in the future.
En plus de Norris, Oscar Piastri s’est également démarqué exceptionnellement en seulement sa deuxième année en Formule 1. Le pilote australien a déjà remporté une victoire en sprint lors de sa saison inaugurale. Brown croyait que Piastri avait le potentiel pour égaler les performances de Norris à mesure qu’il acquiert plus d’expérience dans le sport.
McLaren a une équipe de pilotes solide en Lando Norris et Oscar Piastri. Les deux pilotes ont montré leur talent et ont le potentiel de devenir des champions du monde futurs. De plus, ils ne se sont pas heurtés l’un à l’autre à plusieurs reprises, ce qui est prometteur pour l’avenir de McLaren en Formule 1.
