Martin Brundle: Lando Norris must be “mortally wounded” Oscar Piastri won in F1 before him
Piastri sensationally took his first F1 win - albeit in the sprint - in Qatar, finishing ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.
On the other side of the garage at McLaren, it was a toug💝h weekend for Norris, who threw away pole position twice in Qatar.
“Let’s remember that Oscar Piastri won the Sprint race in Qatar in great𒀰 style with Max trying 𒁏to catch him,” Brundle said.
“Their [McLaren’s] new wind tunnel I don’t think will really pay a lot of dividends until 2025, but if they put everything else together well…and remember even a couple of years back there was a sequence of three races [Italy and Russia 2021] where Lando could have won all three ꦦof them.
“So it’s within touching distance and he must be mortally wounded that actually it was Piastri who saw the chequered♏ flag first.”
Brundle does think that the arrival of Piastri has allowed Norris to improve, describing the British driver’s performances in tꦿhe second half of the season as “outstanding”.
“Oscar 🤪Piastri has really sharpened Lando Norri🍃s up,” Brundle added.
“Now he has to get on with it a little bit because Piastri has turned up, as a rookie, delivering the high speeds through the really challenging cor⛦ners, delivering some amazing results𒀰.
“Made some rookie errors as well, but ꩵI think that’s really driven both drivers on and probably just what Lando needed because I think in the second half of the season, Lando Norris has been outstanding.”
