It’s just a matter of when again, and not if, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris collide.
McLaren CEO Zak Brown predicts another collision between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in the near future as the F1 title race heats up. At the season’s halfway point, Piastri and Norris are separated by just eight points in their quest for their first world championship. With Piastri holding a comfortable lead over Max Verstappen, an internal battle for the drivers’ championship is expected for the first time since 2016. Despite an incident in Canada where Norris retired after colliding with Piastri, Brown anticipates more racing incidents but emphasizes fair treatment and transparency in handling them. He acknowledges that racing mistakes are inevitable but praises both drivers for their clean racing style and expects a fierce yet respectful competition leading up to the season finale.
