McLaren Asks for Investigation Into RB and VCARB relationship After Singapore

Within Formula One, each team has an equal chance of winning the driver’s or Constructor’s championship. It all comes down to the car and the drivers. However, if teams started actively working together to bring down other teams, it would be a whole different sport. This is an issue that wasn’t really a problem in the past. However, after Daniel Ricciardo’s fastest lap at the Singapore Grand Prix, McLaren has started questioning the relationship between Red Bull and Visa Cash App RB.

Daniel Ricciardo, who was outside of the top 10, so not winning any points even if he got the fastest lap, tried it anyway. He was successful and set the fastest lap in the later part of the race! He didn’t get the point which is normally awarded for it, however, he did take it away from Lando Norris!

Daniel Ricciardo’s Fastest Lap Makes it More Difficult for Lando Norris!

It might seem that it was done intentionally to ruin Lando Norris’ Grand Slam victory. However, VCARB said that it was done to give Daniel Ricciardo a high in what could be his potential last race within Formula One ever. He might have gotten the fastest lap record of the Singapore GP, however, he also made sure that Lando Norris had as few extra points as possible to keep the gap between Max and Lando as big as possible.

Not only was Lando Norris on his way to winning his first-ever Grand Slam title within Formula One. This means winning the race from pole position, leading every lap and setting the fastest lap of the Grand Prix. So by not getting the fastest lap, he didn’t get his Grand Slam title. The point that he missed out on because of Daniel Ricciardo made it so that Max Verstappen can finish one position behind Norris for the rest of the season and still win the driver’s championship!

McLaren wants an investigation into the relationship between RB and VCARB

Each of the teams within Formula One is competing against each other. So it is an equal chance to for all teams to win the driver’s and constructors championships. So if there were two teams owned by one company, the other teams would be at a disadvantage. This is exactly what the McLaren Team principal, Zak Brown, wants to address this relationship between the two teams. Especially with the latest stunt of Daniel Ricciardo actively helping Max Verstappen.

VCARB, previously known as Torro Rosso (Red Bull) was a sister team to the main Red Bull F1 team. It was intended to give rookies a way to get into the sport without replacing their competitive drivers. However, with drivers like Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo being part of their team, this was not the case anymore.

McLaren Chooses Norris As Their Main Driver For 2024!

Within Formula One teams, you always have 2 drivers, one being the favourite driver and getting the priority over the other. For example, within RedBull, Max Verstappen will get priority over Sergio Perez when it comes down to closely winning a race. Teams don’t want their drivers to have to “battle” each other risking both cars to get damaged. However, McLaren has a different idea. They have said from the moment that Oscar Piastri joined them, that both drivers could go for the championship and that they could take the battle against each other seriously.

McLaren Helps Lando Norris Win The Driver Championship

In the week before the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, McLaren announced that they were now prioritizing Lando Norris to win his first world title. There are multiple reasons why they chose Lando over Oscar Piastri. One of the biggest reasons is the driver standings, Lando Norris is only 68 points away from Max Verstappen, while Oscar Piasrti is still over 100 points away from him. Another reason is that Lando Norris has been out-qualifying his teammate by a small margin and has taken multiple pole positions.

The team discussed this with both drivers who, according to the McLaren team, knew what they had to do. The first race this new strategy would be used was going to be the Italian Grand Prix in Monza

Oscar Piastri Doesn’t Agree

However, if you have watched the Monza race or its highlights, you will know that Oscar Piastri took the lead from Lando Norris in the first corner. This messed up Lando’s racing speed which dropped him back to 4th place. Oscar drove off to lead the race.

Charles Leclerc was able to win the race because of a questionable strategy from McLaren. Oscar Piastri was second with Lando Norris coming in third. This wasn’t the race that McLaren was hoping for! Monza is one of the easiest tracks to stay in the lead and they had a front-row start for both their cars!
