Although McLaren appeared dominant in second practice for the Austrian Grand Prix, drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri expressed concern about world champion Max Verstappen catching up to them. Norris led FP2 after sitting out FP1, with Piastri closely behind, following their collision at the previous race in Canada. Despite their strong performance, both drivers acknowledged the threat posed by Verstappen and other competitors like Lance Stroll’s Aston Martin. The McLaren team focused on fine-tuning their car’s performance for qualifying, recognizing the potential challenges ahead. Piastri, leading the standings, remained optimistic but acknowledged the competitiveness of Verstappen and George Russell. Both drivers continued to experiment with different car setups and upgrades, aiming to maximize their chances for success in the upcoming sessions.
