“McLaren know they can’t just park a great talent like Piastri"
Norris is 62 points behind Max Verstappen in the drivers’ championships with only three rounds left, after losing crucial ground at the F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.Earlier this season, McLaren were clear in their philosophy that they would not name a No1 driver or prioritise either Norris or Oscar Piastri, while Verstappen was unequivocally Red Bull’s top man.
But Martin Brundle answered: “Absolutely not. Lando was very clear - ‘I don’t want to win a world title because my teammate had to keep gifting me stuff’. “They certainly have not hampered Lando. They have given Lando every bit of support, and a car that is very fast.”
