Norris must deal with Piastri's pace – or suffer Mark Webber's fate
As Oscar Piastri moved into the championship lead, his manager Mark Webber's example should serve as a warning to Lando Norris, says Mark Hughes
At the start of the season I listed a few predictions for the year and I think we – that’s you lot out there and me – agreed we would review those predictions at mid-season.
Well, as I write, we are 12 days into the second half of the year and pretty much at the halfway stage of the 2009 season. So, casting caution to the summer breezes, here are my latest musings on what may transpire before the year is out…
Some of my earlier predictions have come to pass, while many have not. Hopefully, however, it’s just a bit of fun as we move through what has turned out to be a very exciting season.
Before racing gets underway in 2010:
A few, but not many, of these will come to pass. Oh yes, and Jenson Button will be World Champion, but only by the skin of his teeth, and Red Bull will win the constructors’ championship.
All this is hopeless guesswork because motor racing is just so unpredictable. But that’s partly why we love it so much. You, of course, will have your own opinions.
