Lando Norris told he must ‘get in line’

Oscar Piastri’s composed victories have vaulted him into the championship lead, prompting ex-Haas boss Guenther Steiner to advise his McLaren team-mate.



Blunt appraisal



Steiner named Norris his “w*nker of the week,” adding: “Maybe there is an opportunity that makes him come back stronger.”



Time to play the team game



Steiner argued that if Max Verstappen applies pressure, McLaren must nominate a number one.







“If Max comes close, I think after the summer break, it will be, ‘Lando, get in line,’ ” he said.



Inner-circle contrast



The Italian believes Piastri benefits from mentor Mark Webber’s experience, whereas Norris lacks equivalent guidance.



He warned that without a stabilising voice the Briton risks “controlling your nerves” becoming a weakness.



Psychological battle ahead



Norris entered 2025 as a title favourite but has struggled with starts and consistency.



Whether he heeds Steiner’s advice or resists could shape both McLaren’s intra-team harmony and the wider championship narrative.
