McLaren has seen much calmer days this Formula 1 season. But Zak Brown’s empire is now showing cracks on all fronts.

The team did wrap up the constructors’ championship early in Singapore, and Brown is understandably basking in the glow of that “important” achievement. But let’s be honest: for the public, that title barely matters.

In Formula 1, only the drivers’ championship counts – that’s the one with real prestige, the ultimate prize.

And right now, that ultimate prize is slipping away from McLaren.

The results since the summer break speak for themselves: Max Verstappen and Red Bull are back in full force. They have nothing to lose – and everything to gain.

Lando Norris, McLaren, Oscar Piastri, McLaren, Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing

McLaren, on the other hand, can only lose – and in recent weeks, the team has looked more nervous than at any other point this season. Strategy calls have become less precise, pitstops are no longer flawless, and even the drivers are showing cracks under pressure.

Of course, we could have once again crowned Oscar Piastri the ‘worst sleeper’ of the night. But the situation at McLaren goes far beyond their championship leader’s current dip.

All these ‘side battles’ have clearly left their mark on the team. The constant chatter, speculation, and media pressure have created a climate of uncertainty – and it’s showing on track.

Hovering over all of this, like a sword of Damocles, are McLaren’s self-imposed ‘Papaya Rules’ – in other words, the rules McLaren has shackled itself with. Because the team is increasingly tripping over its own code of conduct.

Every minor incident is dissected, every tiny contact scrutinized. One internal review follows another. And anyone who says this leaves no mark on the people expected to perform on race weekends is fooling themselves.

Lando Norris, McLaren, Oscar Piastri, McLaren

Norris and Piastri may insist otherwise, but the ‘papaya ghost’ still haunts their minds – just listen to Piastri’s radio messages after the Singapore clash, or Norris’ comments following the sprint incident. Everything at McLaren now revolves around one question: how does this fit into the internal racing code, and what are the consequences?

Those very “consequences” for Norris, announced after Singapore, were another self-inflicted wound. When you chase irreproachable fairness, you inevitably lead whoever feels wronged to speak up. If there were consequences for Norris after Singapore, will there be some for Piastri after Austin?

That’s the vicious circle McLaren has created – and can no longer escape.

The team has even missed a chance to calm things down: in Austin, Brown spoke about “transparency”, yet failed to truly be transparent. Since then, those “consequences” have kept coming back to bite him.

Because one thing’s clear: nothing is clear. And that uncertainty is palpable. Every media session has become a balancing act.

And right in a phase where clear communication is valued more than ever, Brown is also fighting a legal battle with IndyCar champion Alex Palou, who accuses him of breaking his word and claims Brown failed to honor their agreements. If anything, that’s ironic, given that the very ‘Papaya Rules’ are based on mutual agreement and the principle of fair play.

Alex Palou blames McLaren in court over F1 deal, Zak Brown denies misleading him

Zak Brown responds to Alex Palou’s “ludicrous” claim about Oscar Piastri signing

Meanwhile, more and more voices are saying what many have long suspected: McLaren’s pursuit of absolute fairness between its two drivers simply isn’t possible. And every attempt to enforce it only makes things worse.

Where this will lead, nobody knows – not even Zak Brown. But one can safely assume that his thoughts are racing when he tries to sleep at night – especially after the weekend in Austin. If anyone had a rough night after the United States GP, it was the McLaren boss. For more reasons than one.

Pramac rider Jack Miller admitted he “let everybody down”, including his team, with a race-ending shunt at the Australian Grand Prix.

Miller emerged as a surprise frontrunner at Phillip Island last weekend, qualifying on the front row of the grid for the first time since 2023 before finishing a solid fourth in Saturday’s sprint.

In the main race on Sunday, he dropped from third on the grid to sixth early on as the Yamaha lacked the long-run pace of its rivals, but was still in for a solid points haul on home turf.

However, his race ended prematurely when he lost the front end of his M1 at Siberia on lap 5, marking his second retirement in as many weekends.

The Queenslander revealed that he was struggling with the handling of his bike on a heavier fuel load in the race, but was nevertheless disappointed in himself given the speed he had enjoyed earlier in the weekend.

“It felt decent coming into the race. I got away to a decent start, I was in the group there," he explained.

“I was struggling a little bit more than I had done all weekend, especially [Turns] 6 and 2. I kind of felt like I had to force it a little bit more to make a turn. Whether it be the Pirelli rubber or the extra fuel, [I don’t know]. We're only two litres more than warm up but still. It just felt like I had to force it a little bit more. 

“I had a couple of warnings going into [Turn] 6, just with a little bit of vibration going in as I'm trying to force the bike to turn in. And yeah, ‘she’ finally said no more on the third time; kind of just vibrated in and then went on me. 

“[I am] disappointed to let everybody down, let the team down after what was a strong weekend. 

“But we showed this weekend great pace, great speed - doing it on our own. So try and take the positives and learn from the negatives, and try to understand what the difference was today. 

“I felt like I positioned myself well. Just creeping up to what could have been a nice result. But that's all to say, we need to put it into practice. It's two weekends now where we're going to let ourselves down in the main race. 

“[Now we will] try and get out of this little bit of slump, that is the GP race and try to fix it going forwards.”

Sunday at Phillip Island began with Darwin-born Justin Kelso finishing on the podium in the Moto3 race, before Senna Agius brought more delight to the home crowd with victory in Moto2.

Since Casey Stoner’s retirement at the end of 2022, Miller has been the prolific Australian rider in MotoGP, although more Aussies have entered grand prix racing in recent years.

“I'm stoked for the other two,” he said. “Of course, I appreciate the home fans and everything. [But] I'm a racer, I'm trying to do the best I can every time I get on the bike. 

“Senna's down there with all my larrikins at the moment. Three sheets of the wind, having a good time. It's good for him and I was so bloody stoked. Gave him a big old hug and was out there clapping. 

“I'm a fan of Australian motorsports, whether it be motorcycling, road racing, motocross, Formula 1 with Oscar [Piastri]. I love when Aussies do well. 

“I enjoy that success and I try to feed off it almost. But unfortunately, today we weren't able to join the club.”

England dug in for a four-run victory over India to clinch a semifinal spot at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup on Sunday, leaving the tournament co-hosts in a five-way contest for the remaining place in the final four.

Chasing a winning target of 289, India stumbled from a position of strength to fall just short as they were restricted to 284-5 in their 50 overs.

India were on course for victory for much of their innings – Smriti Mandhana top-scored with 88, while skipper Harmanpreet Kaur hit a run-a-ball 70.

England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt picked up 2-47 and left-arm spinner Linsey Smith bowled a tight spell of 1-40 in 10 overs, including the key wicket of Mandhana, to apply the brakes on the home team and help pull off a stunning win.

It was India’s third straight loss – following defeats to Australia and South Africa – and stunned the home crowd at Holkar Stadium.

This was after England opted to bat first and posted 288-8, with Heather Knight contributing 109 off 91 balls.

England joined defending champions Australia and South Africa in the semifinals with a fourth win in five games. The four-time champions next play Australia on Wednesday at the same venue.

India are still fourth with four points from five games and need a massive turnaround in form against New Zealand on Thursday and Bangladesh on Sunday in their remaining two group games.

“Smriti’s dismissal was the turning point,” Kaur said. “We had sufficient batting to finish the game, but I don’t know how things went the other way. Credit to England – they kept bowling well and kept getting wickets.”

Co-hosts Sri Lanka take on Bangladesh in Navi Mumbai on Monday.

India come close

The chase did not get off to the best start. Pratika Rawal was caught behind for six, while Charlie Dean trapped Harleen Deol leg before wicket for 24.

Mandhana and Kaur then combined at 42-2, and the pair added 125 runs off 122 balls for the third wicket, with India seemingly cruising on a batting-friendly surface.

Kaur reached her half-century off 54 balls, while Mandhana was content with playing an anchoring role. She reached her second consecutive fifty off 60 balls.

Sciver-Brunt got the breakthrough to dismiss Kaur, but India were still favourites to win.

Deepti Sharma hit 50 off 57, and put on 67 off 66 with Mandhana.

India needed 62 off the last 60 deliveries, but momentum swung when Mandhana went for a big shot against Smith in the 42nd over and was caught on the boundary.

India slipped from 234-3 to 262-6 in 33 deliveries with Sharma out caught off Sophie Ecclestone (1-58) in the 47th over.

England piled on the pressure as Amanjot Kaur (18 not out) and Sneh Rana (10 not out) were unable to finish off the chase.

Knight shines

Knight scored her third ODI hundred to lead England’s innings.

England made a good start with openers Tammy Beaumont (22) and Amy Jones putting on 73 runs. Jones scored 56 off 68 balls.

Off-spinner Sharma accounted for both openers before Knight took over the innings, including a 113-run third-wicket stand with Sciver-Brunt (38 off 49).

“I got myself in and put down the accelerator. It felt like we needed 300 on that pitch, but it was frustrating to not get there in the end,” Knight said. “I was desperate to put in a statement performance for my 300th [international game] and I am pleased to do that.”

Knight reached her century off 86 balls, including 14 fours and a six. She was run out in the 45th over as England slipped towards the end, conceding five wickets for 31 runs across 5.1 overs.

Sharma returned figures of 4-51 in 10 overs and followed up with a half-century, but it was not enough on the day.
