Brown explains hopes for Norris and Piastri’s rivalry

McLaren CEO Zak Brown views the intra-team rivalry between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri as an "enjoyable" asset rather than a "problem." Brown expressed excitement over their intense on-track battles, particularly after their Canadian Grand Prix collision and their fight for victory in Austria. He highlighted the drivers' mutual respect and the team's strong chemistry, which fosters fair competition. Brown is keen to see more aggressive yet clean racing from the pair, hoping their thrilling contests continue right until the season finale in Abu Dhabi. He emphasized that both drivers receive equal equipment and fair treatment, allowing them to focus on beating rivals—including each other—in a respectful manner.
