Brundle: “Cuirfidh comhoibriú brutal Norris-Piastri ar aghaidh”

Martin Brundle, former F1 driver and Sky F1 correspondent, 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 lead over Verstappen compared to the last race, but I think it’s much more worthwhile for him to look further back for the real rival. Piastri's deficit is only ten points, and now Suzuka is coming, where McLaren always performs 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 reshaped the podium and the race picture as well. In Japan, it will be revealed how they fare against each other, but I think this will only be the first act of a brutal and bloody battle that will last the entire season.” - predicted a great battle, even a war, Martin Brundle.
