Brown: ‘They clearly smell that both of them have a chance’
“You get the adrenaline going getting ready, then you have to go for a coffee, then you go again,” says McLaren CEO Zak Brown.
“Sun’s out now, interesting to see how quick the track dries.
“I’d be surprised [at astanding start] but I’ve not seen what the grid looks like,” he adds.
On the relationship between Piastri & Norris: “They clearly smell that both of them have a chance at being world champions.
“I’ve not noticed any difference, but I’m sure as it ramps up the stress will get higher.
But the relationship between them is awesome,” he adds.

“Now it’s 13 minutes to go until the race starts, so you warm up with the physio,” explains Rosberg on commentary.
“I do some ‘keepie uppies’ then get in the car, which takes me eight minutes to get comfortable,” he jokes.
