It is clear that McLaren drivers and Formula 1 talents Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris are well-matched. Not only during Formula 1 races but also on a circuit in Lombardy, the two challenge each other. Even McLaren CEO Zak Brown gets into the karts but, as expected, is significantly slower than Piastri and Norris.
