Oscar Piastri Spills on Private Team Discussion with McLaren
McLaren debated team orders to favor Norris or Piastri as both chase their first drivers' title during Qatar sprint weekend with 33 points at stake, reflecting a strategic dilemma.
- Lando Norris enters Qatar with a chance to secure the championship by finishing third at Qatar Grand Prix sprint weekend, main race, and Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Dec. 7.
- Given their philosophy, McLaren has resisted changing course, with Zak Brown telling the `Brown told the` last month and Andrea Stella, who has Ferrari-era experience, focused on avoiding past team order mistakes.
- Season statistics underline how form and results have shifted as McLaren has 13 wins to Red Bull's six, with Norris claiming seven and Piastri six, while Piastri lost a 34-point lead since Zandvoort.
- Implementing orders would immediately set a pecking order between teammates, and McLaren's Las Vegas Grand Prix double disqualification and hair's width technical infraction have revived calls to favour a driver.
- With 33 points on offer, Max Verstappen could still lead at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, while McLaren risks joining the 11 rare cases of constructors winning without drivers' titles.
