Where Red Bull: As the 2025 Formula 1 season hits its halfway mark, a thrilling battle is brewing not between rival teams, but within McLaren itself. Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris are locked in a high-stakes title fight, separated by just eight points after 12 races.

Former McLaren driver and F1 veteran David Coulthard believes this internal duel could echo the intensity of the unforgettable 2021 battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton – a rivalry where only one could be crowned champion.

Coulthard, who raced in 246 Grands Prix and scored 13 wins in his career, is thoroughly enjoying the Piastri-Norris duel and believes the young Australian’s current lead is fully deserved.
