 | | Johnny Herbert: McLaren has no need to immediately interfere in the fighter’s struggle and dictate the conditions11.03.2025 |
Herbert spoke about the chances of McLaren on the title. The former Formula 1 pilot noted that if Lando Norris or Oscar Piaste really want to challenge Max Fersstappen in the struggle for the title, one of them will need to overcome his partner and get a psychological advantage.
, as an example, Herbert brought Michael Schumacher, with whom he performed in Benetton.
In his experience - and he is based on performances with Michael Schumacher - I can say that Michael first of all tried to make him the dominant force.
And he did this even before you went to the start of the first season race. Max Ferstappen is trying to do the same - he tries to do to control his fate himself and so that everything depends only on him, regardless of who is his partner. Does this apply to the same extent to the red bull? A little, but basically, Verestappen speaks and acts for itself.
And this is what Lando Norris and Oscar Piasta should do in McLaren. What in this situation to do maclaren? Well, let the situations develop.
I think that at the beginning of the season in McLaren it will happen and riders will fight. Because they do not need to intervene and dictate the conditions from the very first races - in Australia, China and so on.
It will not be very good if Maclaren immediately sides the side of one racer. And this is a matter of psychological confrontation.
Now I already know that in rivalry with Michael I needed to be stronger than I was then. That is why I say all this now. I learned from Michael that you should be psychologically strong, ”said Herbert.
Finance Red Bull in F-1 predicted collapse without sponsors of Perez. Threats were justified?
