Oscar Piastri shared Norris’s perspective, pointing out that the upgrades brought by other teams to the Texas track might influence the competition. Piastri noted that McLaren’s performance may not match the levels seen in the past few weekends. He also mentioned Mercedes’ upgrades, suggesting that the fight at COTA could involve closer competition with Ferrari and Mercedes.
In essence, McLaren is aware of the unique demands that COTA presents, with its abundance of slower corners. The team may face a stiffer challenge, but they remain determined to put up a fight.
