Despite mclaren

The Italian Grand Prix: Despite McLaren urging his teammate Oscar Piastri to assist the British driver if needed, Lando Norris said he wants to strive to win the world title by merit.

Ahead of the crucial Azerbaijan Grand Prix, McLaren had taken a decisive step: they would focus their efforts on pushing Norris towards the world title, with Oscar Piastri, his rookie teammate, stepping back to support the team’s strategy.

Team principal Andrea Stella had been clear that McLaren would "bias" their operations toward Norris, yet they wanted to do so without compromising their integrity or sense of fairness.
