Norris and Piastri left STUNNED after extraordinary Alonso claim by McLaren boss

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were left in shock after McLaren CEO, Zak Brown, made a pointed jibe towards the Aston Martin team during a live radio interview.

Brown joined his drivers on ‘The Chris Evans Breakfast Show’ and targeted Lance Stroll in his comments about one of their rival team's driver line-ups.

“I’m dominating, this is like [Fernando] Alonso on [Lance] Stroll,” Brown said after winning one of the quiz rounds during the interview.

Both McLaren drivers looked in disbelief after their boss had said the remark regarding their fellow F1 drivers.

Alonso currently is placed third in the driver standings, with his team-mate back in ninth.

Norris was left open-mouthed after the comments while Piastri couldn't contain his laughter.

Talents outside of F1

In another segment in the extended interview, Piastri, Norris and Brown were discussing the talents outside of F1 that they held.

“[Baseball is] a good version of cricket! Probably hitting the home run as a lefty. So, I was a switch hitter. Los Angeles, Sherman Oaks Little League," Brown said as he revealed, outside of managing a F1 team, baseball was his talent.

Norris meanwhile answered golf to the same question even though he said he didn’t feel like he had much talent at the sport

“I'm not that good. I'm okay, I can have a good game. But I'm getting better.”
