McLaren star FINALLY reveals controversial contract condition
F1 star Oscar Piastri has clarified the papaya rules, stating it simply means not to crash into each other during races, as revealed in an interview with Autosport. McLaren, under Zak Brown’s leadership, allows Piastri and team-mate Lando Norris to race each other, prioritizing exciting battles on the track over team strategy. Despite some criticism, both drivers are vying for the championship title this season, with one likely to be crowned champion for the first time. Norris faced setbacks after colliding with Piastri during the Canadian Grand Prix but has since bounced back impressively, winning three of the four races before the summer break. Going into the Dutch Grand Prix, Norris trails Piastri by just nine points, aiming to secure a victory and potentially take the lead in the standings.
