“I guess it starts with ‘papaya’ - that doesn’t sound very tough, does it?"
This weekend’s F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix will see McLaren introduce a new policy of trying to supportPreviously, they had proudly stated that ‘papaya rules’ dictate they treat both drivers as equals.
“I don’t want to be demeaning. I am trying to find the right words. But I find it a little bit pathetic…“If I was a McLaren fan, I’d be upset. Do they really want to win? Do they care? It doesn’t sound like they want to win.“Lando got the better of Piastri for the first half of the season, he’s the one with a chance to win. You play it by that rule.
That deficit might have been closer had Piastri not overtaken Norris at Monza last time out when ‘papaya rules’ were in force. Chandhok said: “Midseason. He was 84 points behind Max at that point but you could see the momentum shifting.“There are a lot of ‘ifs’ which could have put more points in Lando’s account.”“Psychologically Lando has lost momentum,” he answered.“Even if he’s quicker, there might be a move, like in Monza, where he doesn’t over-defend and he tries to avoid. If it was a different driver, other than his teammate, next to him in that chicane, he would not have gotten out of shape.
