With dominant victories in Monza and Baku, Formula 1 king Max Verstappen has significantly reduced his once three-digit gap to McLaren-Pilot Oscar Piatri. McLaren boss Zak Brown nevertheless does not want to spend a stable order – but “get rid of” as soon as possible “.
After a disastrous weekend in Azerbaijan, McLaren is challenged at the Singapore Grand Prix. On the Caspian Sea, World Cup leader Oscar Piatri had already sunk his racing car in round 1 in the gang and received the first zero number of the season. Stall rival Lando Norris also only seventh.
Instead, Red Bull star Max Verstappen triumphed for the second time in a row in a row and a strong piece from the McLaren pad in the driver’s world championship. Before the night GP in Singapore, the Dutchman has 69 points behind Piatri, but Norris is “only” missing 44 points.
So alarm level papaya? “The disruptive factor! We definitely have to have an eye on Max,” McLaren-Boss Zak Brown warned his team. First once, McLaren has to continue as before.
“It looks very good in the designer World Cup, we already had the chance to win the title in Baku, but don’t let us talk about it,” says “Gpfans.com” the American. “Hopefully we can do it in Singapore.”
McLaren does not want to intervene in World Cup fight
If Oscar Piatri or Lando Norris are at least third in the night GP, the World Cup race of the race stables has been decided. The papayas lack only 13 points to make the sack.
“We want our two drivers and Max – although we hope to get rid of him as soon as possible – are able to fight the World Cup and that they have the same opportunities and resources,” said Brown.
The McLaren CEO thus confirms the team’s philosophy not to call up and prioritize number 1. “That is exactly what we do. Let the best driver win: this is our goal – as little as possible to play a role.”
