McLaren fully behind both drivers after Piastri outshines Norris in Azerbaijan

TEAM principal Andrea Stella says McLaren will continue to review the arrangement between their drivers after Oscar Piastri underlined his talent with a thrilling Azerbaijan Grand Prix victory.

McLaren came into the weekend fielding questions over team orders after Piastri’s opportunistic first-lap move in Monza a fortnight ago resulted in title-chasing Lando Norris losing two positions.

They decided the team would favour Norris for the remainder of the season but it was Piastri on the top step of the podium in Baku as the British driver finished fourth, having started from 15th after a disaster in qualifying.
