Martin Brundle has examined a crucial issue facing McLaren – and outlined how it can avoid falling victim to it.
Martin Brundle warned about the potential danger of McLaren’s driver neutrality in the F1 championship race, highlighting the threat posed by Max Verstappen and George Russell. He suggested that McLaren’s strategy of having two “number one drivers” could harm the title chances of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. Brundle drew parallels to the 1986 season, where Williams lost the championship to McLaren despite dominating the constructors’ standings. He urged McLaren to be cautious, as Verstappen and Russell could capitalize on any internal competition within the team. Brundle emphasized the importance of McLaren not losing sight of the bigger picture and potentially allowing another driver to snatch the championship.
