Günter Steiner: It's better to lose a friend than a title.
Former Haas F1 team principal Gunther Steiner spoke in an interview with sport.de about the fight for the title between two McLaren drivers…
Gunther Steiner: "Right now, Piastri is 18 points ahead of Norris. That's a lot, but only from one side. If Oscar drops out of the race and Lando wins, then he will be in the lead.
They compete against each other in every race, following the 'pappaya' rules proposed by the team, but at some point, when it really comes down to a decisive battle, both drivers will forget about these rules.
Although they are friends and always speak about good relations, they both want to become world champions! And I have no doubt: it’s better to lose a friend than the title.
The chance to win the Formula 1 World Championship could be the only one in a lifetime. If I were Lando, just a few points behind, I would momentarily forget about the 'pappaya' rules. But I don’t need to explain this to him. He’s a racer himself, and racers are incredible egoists."
