McLaren F1 boss Zak Brown criticized the ‘amateur hour driving’ at the United States Grand Prix after a double DNF for his drivers. Both McLaren drivers retired during Saturday’s sprint race at COTA due to an unfortunate incident. Oscar Piastri’s collision with Nico Hulkenberg led to suspension damage and his retirement. The contact with a Sauber F1 car also caused Lando Norris to be sidelined on the first lap. Brown blamed Hulkenberg for the incident, calling it ‘amateur-hour driving’ that negatively impacted McLaren’s chances at the US GP. Max Verstappen capitalized on the opportunity, cutting the gap in the drivers’ standings after the sprint race.
