Týmoví kolegové v boji o titul. Rovnováha v týmu se přesto letos nezměnila, tvrdí Piastri

V čele průběžného žebříčku šampionátu jezdců je už měsíc od Velké ceny Saúdské Arábie. Přestože byl před začátkem sezony větším favoritem Piastriho týmový kolega Norris, dokázal Australan vyhrát čtyři ze sedmi letošních závodů a na svého parťáka má náskok 13 bodů.

Oba jezdci McLarenu jsou i díky dosavadním výsledkům hlavními favority na celkové vítězství v letošní sezoně formule 1. O víkendu se ale v Imole připomněl Max Verstappen, jehož ztráta na Norrise činí pouhých devět bodů.

Důležitým faktorem v boji o titul jezdců i Pohár konstruktérů budou vnitřní vztahy v McLarenu. Podle slov Piastriho se na nich od začátku roku nic nezměnilo ani přes změnu v pořadí šampionátu.

„Upřímně si nemyslím, že by se rovnováha a vztahy v týmu zásadně měnily. Přirozeně chcete mít na konci sezony navrch, k tomu oba míříme,“ přemítal Piastri.

„Aktuálně mi výsledky hodně pomáhají k zisku sebevědomí, to je pro mě hodně důležité. Když v závodě soupeříme s ostatními stájemi, je výhodou být první – například v pit stopech a plánování strategie.“

„Když jste v něčem napřed, přináší to výhody. Ale co se týče mentality a vztahů v týmu, pořád se snažíme ze všech sil porazit ostatní týmy, ale i jeden druhého. Myslím si, že na tom se do konce roku nic nezmění,“ uzavřel 24letý pilot.

Ve vzájemných soubojích Piastriho s Norrisem bude zásadní roli hrát přístup stáje. Podle takzvaných „papaya rules“ – pravidel týmu zmiňujících přístup a týmovou režii, by měl mít vždy přednost jezdec, který se na trati nachází v lepší pozici.

Nastavení vedení stáje se ukázalo i ve víkendové Velké ceně Emilia Romagna v italské Imole. Zde měl v závěrečné fázi závodu lepší postavení Piastri, ale druhé místo za vedoucím Verstappenem se snažil uhájit na starších a ojetých pneumatikách. Toho využil Norris a pět kol před koncem se před svého týmového kolegu dostal. Přístup stáje ocenila i konkurence, konkrétně šéf Red Bullu Christian Horner.

„Bylo chvályhodné, že nechali oba piloty závodit a vyřešit si to na trati, ale předjížděcí manévr byl hodně těsný. Mají dva piloty bojující o titul mistra světa, kteří budou v jistých situacích nevyhnutelně stavět svůj úspěch nad ten týmový. I proto si myslím, že McLaren udělal dobře a nezasáhl,“ vyzdvihl Horner.

Týmová režie by předjetí mohla zjednodušit a snížit riziko kolize. Piastri by se však kvůli zásahu stáje mohl cítit upozaděný za Norrise.

Aktuálně Piastri zůstává lídrem šampionátu a situace se nezmění minimálně do neděle, na kdy je naplánovaná Velká cena Monte Carla.

Formule 1 2025

Letošní sezona seriálu formule 1 začala 16. března Velkou cenou Austrálie a končí 7. prosince v Abú Zabí. Titul mezi jezdci obhajuje Nizozemec Max Verstappen z Red Bullu a mezi stájemi britský McLaren.

Tennessee Titans: No. 1 pick Cam Ward signs fully-guaranteed rookie contract

<!--> Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans made it official on Wednesday. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft signed his rookie contract — a fully guaranteed, four-year deal worth $48 million, per multiple reports.This was all but a given when the Titans used the top pick on the quarterback, who played at the University of Miami in 2024. Now, Ward will head into Organized Team Activities, which are set to start May 27, with a deal that makes him the highest-paid rookie in the NFL. Ward enters a quarterback room in Tennessee that includes Will Levis, Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle. The rookie will, presumably, be the Titans' 2025 starter, but he'll have to win the battle in training camp, for good measure. Tennessee is coming off a 3-14 season, its worst finish since 2014, and is in […]

Raiders OTAs: Ashton Jeanty’s unique stance, Christian Wilkins’ health and more

HENDERSON, Nev. — During his final season at Boise State, running back Ashton Jeanty went viral for his unique backfield stance. Instead of standing hunched over with his hands on his thighs like most running backs, he would stand up straight before the snap.It served a purpose. Jeanty, who’s only 5-foot-8, said it allowed him to get a better view of the defensive alignment. In OTAs with the Las Vegas Raiders, however, Jeanty has pivoted to using a more prototypical stance. It came at the suggestion of offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, who believes it gives him a stronger base to explode out of once the ball is snapped. @nfl backfield stance is so tuff 😤 #ashtonjeanty #boisestate #broncos #nfl #nflcombine #nfldraft ♬ original sound – NFL “He won for now,” Jeanty said last week in an interview with NFL Network’s […]
