Hakkinen: McLaren knows they can win both titles.
In Shanghai, Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko said that the McLaren drivers are helping Max Verstappen fight for the title by taking points from each other.
Two–time world champion Mika Hakkinen, who won two titles with McLaren, does not agree with Marco - he believes that Norris will soon become the number one in Woking.
Mika Hakkinen: "I see it differently. The McLaren drivers will push each other to achieve more, which is good both for their individual competition and for the team in the Constructors' Cup. When the time comes to make a choice, I would bet on Norris, but it's not too early yet.
In recent years, McLaren has gradually risen to the top. Being the worst team at the beginning of 2023, they have become a reference point for everyone.
The last time I was in Woking, you could feel that special atmosphere again, when the team knows that they can win both league titles this season."
