McLaren are fighting hard for the drivers' championship. The team, which has not won the title since 2008 or the constructors' title since 1998, has finally realised that it has to beat Red Bull and dethrone them. Max Verstappen This year you need to move behind the pilot, that is the driver of the car. Lando Norris.
Oscar PiastriOnly in his second season in Formula 1, he has now agreed to play as Norris’ number two when necessary. With six consecutive campaigns and two wins over the Australian, the Briton is the obvious choice to lead the attack. It remains to be seen whether the Woking team will regret allowing the pair to race to this point, with Piastri taking points from Norris in Hungary and Italy.
The latter is 62 points behind Max, with just one shot left to go. This is a big challenge, as McLaren’s momentum could easily be blown away so I can see you among the current Red Bull Constructors’ Championship champions who were completely decimated this weekend in Azerbaijan. Keep going or play.
Piastri attacked Norris for the first time at Monza for the last time, which resulted in McLaren losing the last two races to Ferrari. After analyzing the data, the team's chief chef, Andrea Stella, created a link that should probably be completed before the return to the summer exhibitions.
“(We will) influence or support Lando, but we want to do it without compromising our principles too much,” he told the BBC. “Sportsmanship is important to us and we want to be fair to both drivers.”
These are not principles shared by Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes, which is why they dominate the Grand Prix races in this series.
Stella, who saw Ferrari in 2015, says discussions with the drivers were “very collaborative” and explains: “When I said to Oscar ‘would you be (willing) to stop winning? ’, he said ‘it hurts’, but there was something that had to be done now, eu.”
There is some manpower space there. It is understood that this will be implemented through running, so if Norris does the Tour de France this weekend, Piastri could be freed from his algorithms.
Norris, for his part, insists that he does not want his teammate to give up the victories that the Australian deserves.
He said: Em General, (please help me) he is applying for the lowest positions. He deserves to win, so he deserves to win.
That's not a sentiment you'll hear from Verstappen, Lewis HamiltonOr any two world champions before them, and raise to see if the Bristolians are too many to raise Corowa. “If the pilot does better than him, he should do better,” Norris added.
'I don't want to throw algae (victory). I don't want to win the championship either. In the short term, you're going to feel incredible, but there's no way you can be proud to say that's not the case in the long term.
It is worth wondering how he would feel about being in Verstappen's shoes in Abu Dhabi in 2021.
“It doesn't mean I want to win the championship,” he said. “I want to win by beating Max and proving he's the best. That's how I want to win.
Piastri insists he is happy with their agreement, saying: “There is still a need for further discussion (about this move), but the main point is that you will not stop at Lando’s place in all the races because we do not want that.” To, including Lando, they want to run this way. Selfishly, as a pilot, I have my own interests and team orders are not very pleasant. But, to say this, I realise that there is a wider panorama here.
Aston Martin comes out with Newey's Krack no Max
You have appointed the best sports designer, Adrian Newey, to Aston Martin, and it is nothing more than an opportunity. Chef Mike Crack is surprised day after day when he finds himself with the media in Baku at the fifth show.
'It's hard to stop smiling. “This is great news for us as a team,” he said. “It's been a very bad secret, but when the news was relayed internally, it was unbelievable to see 800 people writhing.” When you hear Adrian Newey, you know the project is worthy.
Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will be the first drivers to benefit from Newey's contributions, but Crack's eyes set on bigger prize: Verstappen.
“The door for Max Verstappen is always open,” he said. “(Newey) opens many doors for the future.”
These opportunities may not fall in the wrong direction, as Max said of a future tie-up with Newey: “That’s something that might be for the future in my mind, but not now.”
“I’ve always said I want it to be effective (at Red Bull), but these things can’t be reversed. I’m very excited about people looking for new challenges.
“I know Lawrence (Stroll, Aston Martin owner) is doing everything he can to make this happen at Aston Martin.”
Berman has a new chance to impress.
There will be two new starters on the Azerbaijani grid. Argentine rookie Franco Colapinto replaces the underperforming Logan Sargeant at Williams.
On the other hand, it's not entirely new: Ollie Biermann, 19, from Essex, brilliantly replaced Carlos Sainz in Jeddah, in March, while the Ferrari driver had his appendix removed.
Getting seventh place again in the Haas car could be a tough task this weekend; he will replace Kevin Magnussen due to the Dane being suspended from the race due to multiple penalty points.
