Piastri’s recent bold move in the Italian GP shows his potential, but Norris is currently better positioned. McLaren has not implemented direct team orders favoring Norris, leading to discussions about whether the team should focus on his championship bid. A recent poll showed a majority supporting McLaren favoring Norris, but also highlighted the importance of him earning his position over Piastri.
