The next 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has been poi🉐nted out - and it’s a driver whose key personality trait might irritate Lando Norris, it is claimed.

Verstappen and Norris were last year’s F1 driver’s championship rivals but they both trail 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri after six rounds of the 2025 season.

The eye-catching McLaren driver Piastri has won three grands prix in a row to take command of this year’s title battl🍎e.

Piastri notab🦩ly emerged unscathed and dominant from a battle with Red Bull’s Verstappen for the secon🅠d race in a row at the F1 Miami Grand Prix.

Norris initially lost time against polesitter Verstappen, but Piastri got the better of the reignin♈g F1 driver when they were at close quarters later in the race.

Hꦆowever, it i♌s a personal trait which Piastri shares with Verstappen which has been spotted.

'The new Max' Verstappen is named

“Oscar is the next Max. He has learned already from Max,” L’Equipe journal🍎ist Fred Ferret told the F1 Nation podcast.

“The way he overtook Max is a different way to the way he🌜 did it in Jeddah, which ༺was brave.

“For Oscar, to do it twice, both brilliant…”

Laura Winter added: “He h🍃as a champion mind-set to compartmentalise what has gone on.

“The move he made on ⛦Max, to let Max go in deep, then come around…𝄹 the little bluff he did!”

Podcast host Tom Clarkson ꦦpraised Piastri’s manager for sharing his expertise.

“You can’t overstate 😼the influence Mark We🌊bber is having on him,” Clarkson said about the ex-F1 driver.

“He’s been in those situations and is sharing th🃏e knowledge with Os🧸car.

“We are seeing him improve every weekend.

“I had a catch-u😼p with Mark who was saying Oscar and his physio are so monosyllabic that he has no idea what either are thinꦏking.

“We♉ had a laugh but then I thought: ‘If you are Lando Norris, that might wind you up…’

“Not knowing what your main rival is thinking…”

McLaren do not name a No1 driver, even when Norris was⛎ challenging Verstappen for last year’s champ💧ionship.

They altered that approach in the latter part of 2024 but, currently, McLa🍌ren treat Piastri and 🐼Norris equal whereas Red Bull prioritise Verstappen.

Piastri’s three grand prix wins on the spin - in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Miami - co༒uld yet force McLaren to rethink their philosophy.

Piastri leads second-place Norris b🏅y 16 points in the driverꩲs’ standings. Verstappen is 32 behind the leader.

The seventh round of the season, the F1 Emilia-Roma▨gna Grand Prix, is next weekend.
