McLaren Prioritizes Norris for F1 Title Bid
Sep 12th, 2024
Summary
McLaren has decided to implement team orders to support Lando Norris' bid for the Drivers' Championship, prioritizing him over teammate Oscar Piastri in the remaining eight races of the 2024 season. Norris is currently second in the standings, 62 points behind Max Verstappen, and the team will bias their support towards him while still being fair to both drivers.
The decision follows a missed opportunity at the Italian Grand Prix, where both drivers lost the race to Ferrari's Charles Leclerc after a first-lap wheel-to-wheel tussle.
