Piastri addresses McLaren ‘tension’ as Norris fight heats up
The current leader of the 2025 F1 championship, Oscar Piastri, has addressed any potential tension between him and McLaren teammate Lando Norris.
With just nine points separating them in the drivers’ standings, Piastri and Norris are preparing for the Dutch Grand Prix following the summer break.
Despite both being considered No.1 drivers for McLaren this season, team CEO Zak Brown has emphasized their equal treatment and the benefits of racing without prioritizing one over the other.
Piastri mentioned that their off-track camaraderie, including lighthearted content filming, helps maintain a positive relationship even as they compete fiercely on the track.
While Piastri’s frustration was visible at the British GP, it remains to be seen if any on-track incidents will affect his dynamics with Norris for the remainder of the season.
