McLaren F1 has possibly made the smartest move in its F1 history in all these years. Even if it finishes behind Alpine F1 in the standings this year, it could have more to celebrate than the French team. Honestly, it's a situation where the latter would have lost despite winning.The Woking-based outfit has finally managed to snatch F1's dream guy, Oscar Piastri. The Australian's name has been doing the rounds in F1 for almost two years now. Many believe that this move will only grant McLaren the upper hand in its future.Oscar Piastri@OscarPiastriIt's official! #F1 #OP81 @mclaren613353670It's official! 😁#F1 #OP81 @mclaren https://t.co/CFY3Z1ddrQMcLaren's Piastri snatch from under Alpine's noses will always remain iconic and important to the point where they even paid off Daniel Ricciardo to make way for the 2021 F2 champion. To Piastri's credit, he played a smart move to finalize his place in the team as early as July.Now that the team's 2023 driver line-up is confirmed, let's find out how these boys can fill the missing piece in the puzzle that is McLaren's F1 future.#5 Oscar Piastri - Lando Norris might adjust better to McLaren's F1 carsOscar Piastri and Lando Norris are some of the young minds with a better understanding of the new cars. Norris, in particular, gets the upper hand given that he joined McLaren in 2019 and has a lot more experience knowing how to handle the MCL models.McLaren@McLarenF1“If we can squeeze a bit more out of the car overnight, into qualifying tomorrow, then we can give ourselves a good chance of scoring decent points on Sunday.” Lando, Daniel and Racing Executive Director, Andrea Stella share their insights after Friday at the #DutchGP. 133139“If we can squeeze a bit more out of the car overnight, into qualifying tomorrow, then we can give ourselves a good chance of scoring decent points on Sunday.” 👊Lando, Daniel and Racing Executive Director, Andrea Stella share their insights after Friday at the #DutchGP. 🇳🇱👇Even this year, with new regulations in place, we saw how Norris managed to outperform Daniel Ricciardo time and again. During testing, he understood the car and adjusted to it much faster and hence produced better results. Add Piastri to the equation and McLaren will have both its drivers adapting faster to future cars, unlike Ricciardo who failed to gel with the one he has. With a car that was not suited to his driving style, Ricciardo has suffered in both his seasons with McLaren.#4 Similar age groups will help the two understand each other and the team betterLando Norris is 22 years old while Oscar Piastri is 21. Due to their age, Norris and Piastri might share a similar wavelength and understand each other far better than Norris and Daniel Ricciardo did. While it was clear that Norris got along well with Ricciardo later on, they did not necessarily share similar interests.comfort lando norris@safeforlando🎙: what do you think, you and oscar piastri will have a good relationship in mclaren next year? lando: it’s confirmed?🎙: not yet, but can you confirm it.lando: no, I can’t, because is nothing true. lando norris and oscar piastri are coming soon? 3243185🎙: what do you think, you and oscar piastri will have a good relationship in mclaren next year? lando: it’s confirmed?🎙: not yet, but can you confirm it.lando: no, I can’t, because is nothing true. lando norris and oscar piastri are coming soon? 👀 https://t.co/fib7J6bPfiPreviously, the Norris-Carlos Sainz pairing was a mega-hit for the team. The two gelled well, with Sainz being a lot closer to Norris' age, and even pulling McLaren to a P3 finish in the 2020 F1 constructors' title. Outside of his team, Norris is very close to many other drivers in and around his age group where they even play golf together. Hence, Piastri's age might just make him gel better with the Briton and do the charm. He probably also needs to start playing golf!#3 A potential rivalry could be fruitful for McLarenYoungsters are often touted as having more determination and zeal to achieve things in their life. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri's junior careers have definitely proved they have that. So, it wouldn't be a surprise if the two boys develop a rivalry. This also won't be the first time at McLaren or in F1 for this to occur.Formula 1@F1Can you believe it? It's exactly 10,000 days since the last of three remarkable showdowns between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost at Suzuka#F1's greatest rivalry...?2211768Can you believe it? It's exactly 10,000 days since the last of three remarkable showdowns between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost at Suzuka#F1's greatest rivalry...? https://t.co/L9HVrvjl0OLewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are some of the biggest examples of similar age rivalry in F1. And though it was negative, it made Mercedes inevitable with only Rosberg and Hamilton becoming capable of beating each other. If something similar happens at this British camp, they will possibly have more to thank than feel sorry for.#2 Piastri and Norris have many years ahead of themThe Australian and the Briton do not have to necessarily start fighting for championships immediately. As McLaren F1 goes through the stages of developing its car to perform better, the duo will have time to relax besides being naturally expected to perform at the highest level.unconditional love 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🇹🇼@wonton_1tapLando Norris and Oscar Piastri as teammates is a scary thoughtIf McLaren get the car right they could be unstoppable2Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri as teammates is a scary thoughtIf McLaren get the car right they could be unstoppableIn snatching Piastri, McLaren has given itself some time to groom a future world champion and develop its car to compete at the highest level. There's no doubt that the team will support both the youngsters with either one of them or both becoming champions. Further, the Woking-based outfit's nurturing of Norris for multiple years now might also see him get promoted to Mercedes, making Piastri a lead here, or both could be a part of McLaren for several years to come.#1 Both Piastri and Norris are touted as incredibly talentedTo be clear, we could potentially be looking at prodigies here. With Piastri winning back-to-back championships in the Junior Formulae and Norris only falling short to George Russell in F2 (another Mercedes prodigy), we can expect these two to have some exceptional talent with the car.JTP@Jacob07070483I cannot wait to see howOscar Piastri and Lando Norris match up as teammates, but I so hope Daniel gets a seat in F1 tho.4I cannot wait to see howOscar Piastri and Lando Norris match up as teammates, but I so hope Daniel gets a seat in F1 tho. https://t.co/jBW3sutnYDNorris has already proven that by dragging the MCL36 to positions that are worth recognizing. He has not even missed the trained eye of Lewis Hamilton, who called the 22-year-old a great driver. While Piastri is yet to spread out his wings, we expect nothing short of him.With the two brilliant talents joining hands at McLaren together, the F1 fraternity can't wait to see how they take the team to new heights. The British team might've just concocted themselves the most brilliant driver line-up for next year.Also Checkout:- F1 2022 Results
