McLaren’s duelling pair of world championship leader Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris will be looking warily in their rear-view mirrors this weekend at the United States Grand Prix for Max Verstappen.
With six rounds remaining the two McLarens are separated by just 22 points, with four-time champion Verstappen adrift of Piastri by 63 points but revelling in his recent form after beating both in the last three races.
Jacques Villeneuve, who won the title in 1997, believes the two McLaren drivers need to get serious. “The two McLaren drivers are suffering too much from the pressure and they need to wake up,” he told Italy’s Gazzetta dello Sport.
This weekend’s race will pit the McLaren men in a car that has not been updated in recent weeks against a much-revised Red Bull. That there is also a sprint race only adds to the potential for shredded nerves.
