Brundle: "A brutal Norris-Piastri battle is coming"

Martin Brundle, former F1 driver and Sky F1 employee, believes that what we are currently witnessing is called the calm before the storm. Because after this, a war will follow!

The first race of the season was won by Lando Norris, and the second by Oscar Piastri. Both cars are very fast, and both drivers are very determined, which could still cause problems, even within the team. According to Brundle, not a small amount...

“Norris has a one-point advantage over Verstappen compared to the last race, but I think it’s much more worthwhile to look further back for the real rival. Piastri’s deficit is only ten points, and now comes Suzuka, where McLaren has always performed well. I expect a fierce battle...

Norris was unlucky in China, struggling with the brakes, but I suspect that if everything had gone well, he would have been right on Piastri’s tail. This would have changed the picture of the podium and the race as well. In Japan, we will find out how they fare against each other, but I think this will only be the first act of a brutal and deadly battle that will last the entire season.” - predicted a great fight, even a war, Martin Brundle.
