McLaren will update their team orders at every race, 🐟Zak Brown insists, and team principal Andrea Stella willꦕ make the crucial call.

‘Papaya ru💮les’ have come under the microscope as McLaren overtook Red Bull in the constructors’ champioꩲnship, and Lando Norris closes in on Max Verstappen at the top of the drivers’.

McLaren do not recognise either Norris nor teammate Oscar Piastri as their No1 driver - however have hinted at a change of policy, with the big priz🧸es up fℱor grabs.

CEO Brown has now insisted the specific orders will be amended at ev♍ery grand prix.

“I was watching something that Ron Dennis was talking about,” he said to Sky Sports. “It was the team’s job to win the constructo🐽rs’ championship, and the driver’s job to win the drivers’ championship. That’s what we’re doing.

“Anything we can now 💃do to help Lando, we’ll do that, whether it’s strategically…

“We don’t want to compromise Oscar’s results because he’s having an awesome season, and a b🌃attle of his own.

“If there are things we can do to support Lando, that’s wh๊at we’ll do.

“We’re taking it on a race-by-race basis.

“We’ve got two great drivers capable of winning races✤. It’s a fine line.

“Papaya rules are: know who your teammate is, help your teammate, race your teammate hard 🌱but cleanly.”

Must Piastri let Norris through?

Brown was asked if McLaren were leadi🔯ng the Singapore Gra💦nd Prix 1-2, with Piastri in front, whether he’d be asked to concede victory to Norris.

Brown answered: “That will be Andrea’s call.

“Handing off a race win is a prꦅetty difficult thing to do. It’s a big ask of a grand prix driver.

“Lando wants to win the champiꩲonship, if he can, the righ💛t way.

“If Oscarꦑ goes out and earns it, I’m not sure Lando wants to inherit a victory that way, anyway.”

Norris is 59 points adrift of Verstappen but is c💦urr🐷ently in the faster car.

Piast𓆏ri, fourth in the standings, is 91 points away from leader Verstappen.

Brown insists Piastr♑i remains a title contender: “Mathematically, definitely.

“The gap between Lando and Max will require awesome weekends, and ba🍸ck luck.

“One of the challenges is that we’re not looking at a driver who is too f𝔉ar back from Lando.

“That’s w𒀰hy we’ll take it one race at a time. What are the circumstances?

“If Max has had a DNF so it’s a big points haul, that’s one scenario. Time starts ticking, that’s🌼 another scenario.”
