Are McLaren ‘sabotaging Norris’? F1 fans react after ANOTHER team blunder
After a slow pit stop for Lando Norris at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, F1 fans suggested a possible McLaren conspiracy on social media.
McLaren had a tough race in Baku, with Oscar Piastri crashing out early, giving Norris a chance to gain in the championship.
However, a slow stop put Norris behind Leclerc, limiting his progress to P7 in a DRS train.
Some fans speculated sabotage on social media as the gap between Norris and Piastri widened to 25 points.
McLaren supporters flooded F1’s post with theories, though CEO Zak Brown is committed to fair competition between drivers.
While past incidents fueled conspiracy talk, McLaren is more likely addressing pit crew issues rather than intentionally sabotaging drivers.
