Before the American Grand Prix, statements by Helmut Marko appeared in the Austrian press, who, discussing Lando Norris’s chances of winning the title this year, emphasized that the McLaren driver has psychological problems that will prevent him from fighting.
The head of the British team, Zac Brown, did not like such words. In Austin, he commented on Marco’s words as follows: “I have read Hellmut’s comments. They disappointed me, but didn’t surprise me.
Lando was an ambassador for the mental health program. Toto Wolff spoke a lot about this subject. This is a serious issue that we are trying to highlight so that discussion on such topics becomes normal. But if someone brings up this subject in such a way, in a rather inappropriate way, it sets us back ten to twenty years.”
After these words by Zak Brown, journalists from the Austrian Motorsport Magazin again gave the floor to Helmut Marko: “They simply asked me who would become world champion, and I answered that it would be Max, because he is mentally strong and because he is the fastest racer.
If you look at how many times Max has gained or held positions at the start, and how Lando handles things like that, I think it’s clear.”
