The F1 drivers’ championship battle is currently being headed by the McLaren competitors – prompting “surprise” from Fernando Alonso.
Fernando Alonso expressed surprise at the lack of multiple teams in the F1 title fight this year, noting McLaren’s dominant start. McLaren has won seven out of the first 10 races and holds a significant lead in the constructors’ championship. Oscar Piastri leads the drivers’ standings, followed by Lando Norris, with Max Verstappen as the top non-McLaren driver. Despite McLaren’s early lead, Alonso believes the championship is long and the pecking order may change in the second half of the season. He acknowledged McLaren as the reference point for other teams but emphasized the unpredictable nature of the sport.
