“I want to say one thing about this and I heard it from a reliable source: Zak Brown doesn’t favour anyone, he doesn’t care.”
Ralf Schumacher dismissed claims of favoritism towards Lando Norris over Oscar Piastri in the F1 title fight, branding the theories as “complete bulls***.” Norris leads Piastri by one point in the championship after winning the Mexico City Grand Prix dominantly. Piastri finished fifth behind Ollie Bearman in that race, showing a lack of pace compared to Norris for the second time in a row. McLaren clarified that Piastri’s struggles may be due to low-grip track surfaces in Texas and Mexico, favoring Norris’ driving style. Piastri admitted he needs to adjust his driving style in such conditions and aims to learn from his recent performances. Schumacher denied the speculation of McLaren favoring Norris, emphasizing that team principal Zak Brown prioritizes winning the title regardless of the driver.
