Christian Horner has joked McLaren was “taking the piss” during the Singapore Grand Prix whilst pointing out Lando Norris “got away with” how much he was pushing.
Christian Horner expressed his belief that McLaren “got away with” allowing Lando Norris to push to the extent he did during the Singapore Grand Prix. Norris managed to build a significant lead over Max Verstappen in the opening stint and even extended it to half a minute after pit stops, with McLaren encouraging him to push further. Despite Horner jokingly calling the pace “taking the piss,” he admitted that Red Bull had already conceded the race based on pace. Norris eventually slowed down, and Verstappen finished just under 21 seconds behind. Horner acknowledged the progress Red Bull has made but emphasized the work that still needs to be done before the United States Grand Prix, considering recent struggles and the upcoming challenges.
