Both former Haas team boss Günther Steiner and former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher foresee a heated season finale for McLaren. The title fight between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris could become a test of strength for the racing team. There have been dangerous situations between the two rivals on track several times this year. It was “more luck than brains,” Schumacher believes. But McLaren boss Zak Brown does not want to interfere in the title battle.

After the summer break, the title duel is expected to intensify, as many Formula 1 experts suspect. Among them is Ralf Schumacher: “If they keep going like this, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will continue to crash into each other’s cars this year,” the German emphasized on the “Backstage Boxgasse” podcast. They have often gotten in each other’s way in the current situation, most recently in Hungary, where Piastri attacked his teammate again shortly before the end of the race and almost lost control of his car.

 “It was more luck than judgment that they didn’t touch,” Schumacher said, shaking his head, seeing it as a sign of the great tension within the racing team. Steiner also warns McLaren A major McLaren blow-up may soon be on the horizon. Schumacher is already worried—at least if the team doesn’t take countermeasures: “Either everyone has to sit down and ease off the throttle a little, or at some point we’ll have Zak Brown in front of us asking why two McLarens didn’t make it to the finish.

” Former Haas team boss Steiner also believes a dangerous season finale is looming for McLaren. “They have almost crashed several times. Luck has often played a role. That’s why I say: it’s almost inevitable that there will be a collision between the two at some point,

” the South Tyrolean told “web.de.” At McLaren, they are of course aware of the volatility of the situation. But Brown does not want to step in on the title fight between his drivers: “There’s nothing we like more than seeing them duel. We’re aware of the risk, but we’ll give both Oscar and Lando the same opportunities. So, may the best man win!”
