Martin Brundle, former F1 driver and Sky F1 employee, thinks what we are currently seeing is called: the calm before the storm. Because then comes war!
The first race of the season was won by Lando Norris, the second by Oscar Piasti. Both cars are very fast, both drivers are very determined, which can cause problems even within the team. Brundle claims that not a few...
"Norris has a one-point lead over Verstappen since the last race, but I think he should be looking for a real rival somewhere behind him. Piastra is only ten points behind and now Suzuka is next, where McLaren always does well. I expect a tight fight...
Norris was unlucky in China, he had problems with the brakes, but I suspect that if everything had gone well, he would have got on Piastra's neck. That would also reassess the picture of podium positions and the race. In Japan we will see what they can do against each other, but I think it will be only the first part of a brutal and murderous duel that will last the whole season.” - predicted a great duel, even a war, Martin Brundle.
