Is Norris trying too hard? Will unflappable Piastri cause McLaren power shift?
Oscar Piastri had an impressive performance at the Qatar Grand Prix, securing his first pole position and victory in the sprint race. He followed it up with a strong second place finish behind Max Verstappen on Sunday. Piastri’s success over his McLaren teammate Lando Norris highlighted a potential power struggle within the team. Norris expressed frustration at missing opportunities for victories and acknowledged his own mistakes during the weekend. Despite Norris’ strong season, he appears to be getting increasingly irritated by Piastri’s performances. In contrast, Piastri’s stock continues to rise, achieving career milestones in Qatar and solidifying his position in the top-10 of the championship standings. His rookie campaign is being compared to Lewis Hamilton’s breakthrough season in 2007.
