The sparks are set to fly at McLaren as Zak Brown predicts a fierce showdown between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.
After Oscar Piastri’s recent victory in Gedda, tensions are rising within McLaren as the young Australian driver seems to be challenging Lando Norris’s position within the team. Piastri, the first Australian to lead the World Championship since Mark Webber, is poised to maintain his lead in Miami, putting pressure on Norris like never before.
McLaren’s CEO, Zak Brown, is anticipating a heated rivalry between Piastri and Norris in the upcoming season. Brown believes it’s not a matter of “if” but “when” the two will clash on the track, a scenario that has been avoided so far due to team rules. Brown expressed his excitement, stating, “We have two great drivers racing hard, and something will happen, but this is the world of racing, so I am thrilled.”
Impressed by Piastri’s composure in Gedda, where he held his ground against Max Verstappen, Brown sees the young driver’s potential for growth. Brown considers both Piastri and Norris as the team’s top drivers, expecting intense but clean competition between them. The CEO is eagerly awaiting the day when a legendary battle unfolds between the two, a moment that racing enthusiasts around the world are eagerly anticipating.
