Martin Brundle, former F1 driver and Sky F1 contributor, believes that what we are currently seeing is called: the calm before the storm. Because after this there will be a war!
The first race of the season was won by Lando Norris, and the second by Oscar Piastri. Both cars are very fast, both drivers are very determined, and this could cause problems, even within the team. Brundle believes that there are not a few...
"Although Norris has a one-point advantage over Verstappen compared to the last race, I think it's worth looking for a real rival further back. Piastri has a disadvantage of only ten points, and now comes Suzuka, where McLaren has always had a good performance. I expect a close competition...
Norris was unlucky in China, he had brake problems, but I suspect that if everything had gone well he would have come close to Piastri's neck. That would have changed the picture of the podium and the race. In Japan we will see how they will cope against each other, but I think this will be only the first part of a brutal and bloody battle that will last the whole season.” - predicted a great battle, even a war, Martin Brundle.
