Martin Brundle, a former F1 driver and Sky F1 employee, believes that what we are currently seeing is called: the calm before the storm. After this, there will be war!
The first race of the season was won by Lando Norris and the second by Oscar Piastri. Both cars are very fast and both drivers are very determined, which could still cause internal problems. Brundle believes there are not a few...
"Norris may have a one-point advantage over Verstappen compared to the last race, but I think it's worth looking for a real rival further up the grid. Piastri is only ten points behind and now we have Suzuka, where McLaren always do well. I expect a close race...
Norris was unlucky in China, he had problems with the brakes, but I suspect that if everything was OK, he would have come close to Piastri. That would have changed the picture of the podium and the race. In Japan we will find out how they will cope with each other, but in my opinion it will be only the first part of a brutal and bloody rivalry that will last the whole season," predicted a great fight, even a war, Martin Brundle.
