Martin Brundle, former F1 driver and Sky F1 contributor, believes that what we are currently seeing is what is called: the calm before the storm. Because then war will come!
The first race of the season was won by Lando Norris, the second by Oscar Piastri. Both cars are very fast, both drivers are very determined, and this can still cause problems, even internally. According to Brundle, not a little...
"Norris may have a one-point advantage over Verstappen since the last race, but I think it's much more worthwhile for him to look for a real rival further back. Piastri's gap is only ten points, and now comes Suzuka, where McLaren always performs well. I expect a fierce battle...
Norris was unlucky in China, he had problems with the brakes, but I suspect that if everything had gone well, he would have got to Piastri. That would have redrawn the picture of the podiums and the race. In Japan we will find out what they are up to, but I think this will only be the first act of a brutal and deadly fight that will last a whole season.” - predicted a big battle, even a war, Martin Brundle.
