No McLaren team orders in title fight against Verstappen – Norris

Lando Norris has firmly dismissed the notion of team orders at McLaren, despite the escalating Drivers' Championship battle with only five races remaining. Ahead of the Mexico City Grand Prix, Norris, trailing teammate Oscar Piastri by 14 points, affirmed McLaren's commitment to fair racing. This stance holds even as Max Verstappen's surging form has narrowed the gap to Piastri to 40 points. With McLaren already securing consecutive Constructors' titles, Norris emphasized a 'clean slate' with Piastri, putting past incidents behind them. He expressed confidence in his consistent performance since the Hungarian GP, believing he is well-prepared to tackle the title challenge head-on and aim for victory.
