Oscar Piastri securing a front-row start for the Japanese Grand Prix has his mother scrambling for airplane tickets from Australia!
With the McLaren drivers securing second and third place on the grid for Sunday’s race at Suzuka, it was the rookie Oscar Piastri who won the intra-team battle by pipping Lando Norris to be Max Verstappen’s closest competitor for pole – albeit almost six-tenths of a second off the pace.
With Piastri and Norris getting along well as teammates, and the Piastri family showing up to support their son as often as possible, Brown said it’s led to a tremendous atmosphere within the team.“He’s done such a good job and there’s such camaraderie inside the team and long may it continue. It’s gonna get tough, these guys are gonna be racing each other hard.
“So yeah, very, very happy to be on the front row. Of course, the gap is a little bit… or a lot bigger than I would prefer! But yeah, I’m happy to be in second.
