George Russell casts verdict on potential McLaren team orders use in F1 title fight.
George Russell believes that it would be unfair for McLaren to implement team orders during the F1 title-deciding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. McLaren has refrained from using team orders between their drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the ongoing championship battle. Norris currently holds a 12-point lead over Max Verstappen, with Piastri trailing by 16 points. Russell expressed that it wouldn’t be acceptable to ask a driver in championship contention to move over for their teammate in the final race. Despite McLaren’s strong history in Abu Dhabi, Russell remains focused on his own race and is prepared for any potential role in the title showdown.
