- McLaren directed the classification of manufacturers of 36 points after three events
- However, Max Verstappen managed to win a victory last week in Suzuka
- McLaren cannot let this happen again in front of their owners in Bahrain
It is the hope that kills them at home 1, the hotel suite at the top of the paddock which, by rights, belongs to the team of the world champion.
We are talking about McLaren, and expectations there and through the boulevard bordered by trees, because the twilight reduced the burning temperature, was that Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri would be in a two-way fight for victory at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday.
And why does this planned authority particularly cause nerves to McLaren?
Well, they belong to the Bahrain Sovereign Wealth Fund, Mumtalakat, and they never won here. The car did not adapt its contours, or they were in crisis. Now they shoot all cylinders and the high Tyre heat and degradation track promotes them.
They already have the quickest car that transported Norris to the Gulf One World Championship point before Max Verstappen of Red Bull, who summoned a victory in Japan last weekend.
McLaren competes under the British flag, but the Crown Prince Salman is the ultimate boss. He likes car races and his team, and he organized his traditional welcome party here last night.
The wait is for McLaren to see a 1-2 finish on Sunday at the Bahrain Grand Prix
There is additional pressure for the managers of the manufacturers’ championship to obtain as many points in front of their owners – the Bahrain Sovereign Wealth Fund – Mumtalakat
Max Verstappen challenged the chances of winning in Suzuka last week and becoming the third winner of the Grand Prix in as many racing weekends in 2025
At that time, Norris was the fastest during the first practice in the fiercest in the heat of the sun at 40 ° C. On the second try, at only 30 ° C, McLaren recorded the two fastest times, Piastri this time by establishing the standard.
There have been half-insinuations that McLaren has an illegally flexible rear wing. Verstappen’s father Jos retweeted a video involving this. The fact is that the FIA released papaya cars. And Norris said: “Red Bull had a lot of time to do the same thing, and this is not the case. They should do a better job rather than continuing to complain about things.
“People watching these videos are a bit ignorant. How do they know that it is the rear wing that bends? They don’t. It could be the whole car.
As for the chances of McLaren, prudence is the watchword. “The margins are small,” said Andrea Stella, director of the team.
“I hear about domination, which is out of words. Everyone knows how to try to put pressure on their rivals. But we are very anchored people. We will not enter into this kind of bait.
