Cunning Verstappen: "Piastri is too good to settle behind Norris"

Cunning Verstappen: "Piastri is too good to settle behind Norris"

Tóth Krisztián Márk |

With the upcoming USA Grand Prix this weekend, we have reached the final stretch of the 2024 racing season, where currently Red Bull Racing seems to be the favorite...

But just one bad race, or an unexpected technical failure, and this situation can easily turn, especially in favor of McLaren. Max Verstappen is well aware of this, as he tries to find a grip on his opponent not only with traditional tools but also with good old psychological pressure:

“I think Oscar is a much better driver than to play the supporting role. He shouldn’t have accepted this, although it’s true that I myself have never been in such a situation. But to me, he is not second fiddle in any way, and if I were in his place, I would never have gone along with all of this. Of course, I know, it’s easy for me to say. I have been here for ten years, and Oscar Piastri is only in his second season in F1. But he is simply too good to give up wins and positions for his teammate and his team just because they ask him to. That’s not fair to him!” - Verstappen skillfully hinted at emotional strings.
