McLaren wants to repeat itself, Max out of the game?
In Hungary, McLaren had an important confirmation by achieving a historic double, with the first career victory for Oscar Piastri. However, the Australian was unable to celebrate fully because the team had difficulties managing the riders. Both wanted the victory at all costs, but rather than let them fight on the track the team preferred to cut off the legs of one rather than the other, ending up having to hand the victory to Piastri with a team order. And this scenario could easily repeat itself in Spa.
In Belgium McLaren could in fact find itself in the same situation, considering the fact that it is probable that Max Verstappen here you discount the penalties for changing power unit components, offering a significant opportunity to rivals.
