The pressure is on as Piastri and Norris engage in a fierce title battle within McLaren, with tensions reaching extreme levels reminiscent of the greats.
Michael Schumacher’s brother, Ralf, has weighed in on the intense rivalry, highlighting the need for freedom for the young drivers to showcase their skills and accept the risks that come with pushing the limits.
