Lando Norris offered a sarcastic riposte to a question posed of whether McLaren will prioritise team-mate Oscar Piastri amid Max Verstappen’s refreshed F1 title bid.
Lando Norris sarcastically responded to a question about McLaren prioritizing teammate Oscar Piastri in the midst of Max Verstappen’s title challenge at the Singapore Grand Prix. After a disappointing race in Azerbaijan, Norris is now 25 points behind Piastri, while Verstappen’s back-to-back wins have brought him within 44 points of Norris in the standings. Verstappen’s improved Red Bull performance poses a real threat to McLaren’s title ambitions. Despite the competition from other top teams, McLaren remains confident and aims to continue their strong form in the remaining seven races. Norris rejected the idea of outright team orders favoring Piastri over him to secure the title.
