Having the fastest car on the grid and two drivers worthy of being world champions is probably the second-best scenario for which a team principal could wish.
The ideal, of course, is to have the quickest car, a super-fast number-one driver, and a number two who is quick enough but willing to sacrifice their own interests for the team. This is rare indeed in elite sport and neither Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, running first and second in the drivers’ championship now and separated by just 10 points, sees themselves as number-two material or covets that role.
