McLaren act like Webber delivered them Verstappen or Antonelli in 2023 from Alpine

Zak Brown and Stella continue to insist on a two no.1 driver approach when it’s abundantly clear it’s resulted in two no.2 drivers. It infuriates me how often they’ve thrown away points to prevent Norris from clawing back the deficit in either the 2024 or 2026 championship.

I was livid in Spa when Piastri decided he wanted to race Norris and the VSC compounded the consequences of poor teamwork. The management is so scared to step on Piastri’s toes such that you’d think they’ve got a top 3 driver of all time and don’t want to lose him.

At what point does Brown or Stella realise the next best thing to Verstappen is already in their garage and this season is doing better than Verstappen himself?
