Max Verstappen believes McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri form the best driver line-up among Red Bull's Formula 1 competitors.
At last weekend's Qatar Grand Prix, Piastri and Norris scored McLaren's second consecutive double podium of the season, finishing just five seconds down the road from Verstappen. According to the new triple world champion, McLaren has not only announced itself as the most consistent threat to Red Bull's hegemony, but it also has the strongest driver pairing among the chasing pack.
