McLaren’s team orders U-Turn after Lando Norris F1 title bid collapse
McLaren are set to shift their stance on team orders wꦫith Lando Norris's faint F1 title hopes all but over.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri says McLaren have changed their stance on using team orders with teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris’s F1 title hopes effectively over.
Norris’s ambition of winning this year’s world championship suffered a hammer blow as he slipped from pole position to sixth at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, while title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen staged an incredible fightback victory from 17th.
The result saw Verstappen extendꦿ his championship advan🐲tage to 62 points with three races remaining, all but ending Norris’s hopes of winning a first drivers’ title this year.
Verstappen wi😼ll be crowned world champion at this weekend’s L❀as Vegas Grand Prix if he leads by at least 60 points after the race.
Norris’s fading championship hopes mean that McLaren will n🌟o longer make Piastri, who gave up the sprint win to Norris in Brazil, play a supportin🧔g role.
Asked if he would now return to 🍬an equal footing with Norris, Piastri told media in Las Vegas: “Pretty much, yes.
“There’s still some, let's say, very specific scenarios whereꩲ I might be needed to help out. But for t𒀰he very large majority of situations, it's back to how it was.
“Th🅷e drivers’ chamꦆpionship picture is very slim, and the constructors’ championship is certainly not over for us.
“It's certainly not a done deal, so that's definitely the biggest thing. So it's a very specific fꦇew scenarios that maybe I'll still help out if that's what I'm asked to do, but I'm going into the weekend trying to win.”
McLaren le𝔉ad Ferrari by 36 points in the constructors’ championship, while Red Bull a☂re 49 points further back in third.
While Piastri was happy to play a supporting role to🐻 Norris, he stressed he wants to make sure he doesn’t find himself in the same position next season.
"To be honest, I wasn't that disappointed with giving t🍷hat up," the Australian added.
"Of coursꦺe I would have loved to hღave won the sprint, but a [it is] very different scenario to a grand prix.
"I proved what I wanted to prove, in terms of quaไlifying on pole, and t💮hat was just to myself.
"Qualifying on pole for theꦚ sprint, even if I had won the sprint, qualifying on pole was probably the more satisfying thing for me.
"I knew I did the right thing♋s ꧂in the sprint, and that's good for me.
"I'm happy that we don't have to go into those kind of things as much anymore, and obviously next🐻 year, I want to make sure that I'm not in a position, championship wise, to be subject to that.
"But in reality, I proba꧑bly needed to help out at that one time in Brazil and that's been it. So it's been a lot of talk for not much on-track action."
