Internal decision at McLaren: Piastri has become the number one

All this "internal" information was shared by Ralf Schumacher with the German press, and let's face it, the decision would not be at all unreasonable.

Schumacher believes that the decision is absolutely justified, as Lando Norris makes an astonishing number of mistakes. And not only does he make mistakes, but he is also weak in the task...

“I think the internal decision has been made about who will be the driver that the team wishes to place its championship chips on in the F1 casino going forward. They will focus on Oscar Piastri, that is clear, as Lando Norris makes a lot of mistakes, showing weakness instead of strength, and characteristically, this happens at the most important times. Such was the unnecessary and completely meaningless maneuver he showed in Canada... He apologized for it immediately, but that means nothing, because nice guys rarely become champions. But most likely never.

He is at a low point, has lost his confidence, although it must be acknowledged that his race pace was better than Piastri's. Recently, things didn't really work for him in qualifying, but he came back in the race, made up for the deficit, and showed that he has the speed. He is very strong in tire management, almost at the level of Alain Prost. However, mentally...” - praised and criticized Lando Norris at the same moment Ralf Schumacher.
