Zak Brown has a plan already in place for “when” his McLaren drivers clash.

The McLaren CEO insists it is inevitable that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris❀ will have a contentious moment on-track this F1 season.

Piastri and Norri🐻s lead the championship, ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, after five rounds.

McLaren also possess the🎃 fastest car and are top of the co💜nstructors’ championship.

But Brown knows🉐 it cannot always be plain sailing and is prepared for when Piastri and No🅺rris get their elbows out.

McLaren plan for Lando Norris v Oscar Piastri incident

“ꩵThe good of the team is to try and get 1-ꦇ2s,” he told Channel 4.

“It’s ♎up to them to decide who is P1 and who is P2.🅘 They are free to race.

“🧸You haven’t seen th🀅at really epic battle yet. I think it’s a matter of time.

“They will race each other cleanly and hard.

“It’s not ‘if’ somethin🅰g happens, it’s ‘when’ something happens…

“It’s okay, they are racing hard, they are strong competit🎶ors.

“We have alr🔥eady discussed it. All those people who want to see something exciting happen? It will be a no🌼n-event.

“We will talk it through, learnꦉ from it. You can’t have🦩 two drivers like we have, and not expect some excitement from time to time.”

Last weekend in Saudi Arabia, the McLaren drivers experienced vastly diffℱerent fortuജnes.

Norris crashed in qualifying, leaving himself 10th on the starting grid. Although he somewhat rescued his mistake with a P4 grand prix finish, he💙 lost the lead of the drivers’ standings.

Pi༒astri now leads the championship for the first time in his career after tying Norris’ tally of F1 grand prix wins.

Pi🍒astri has won two grands p♒rix consecutively but the next outing is in Miami, the scene of Norris’ season-changing win a year ago.

McLaren were criticised for their strategy last year when Norris emerged as a threat to ღVertappen’s drivers’ title.

They opt not to♏ name a No1 driver, a method also used by Ferrari - unlike Verstappen at Red Bull.

That meant Norris was🔥 occasionally not prioritised last season by McLaren, above Piastri, when he needed the points to challenge Verstappen.

That strategy evolved through🐼out 2024 but, this season, McLaren entered already with the best car and the highest e♛xpectations.
