Stella expecting ‘sportsmanship & fairness’ in title decider

McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella anticipates a fair and sportsmanlike title decider in Abu Dhabi, where Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will challenge Red Bull's Max Verstappen. With Norris starting P2 and needing a podium to clinch his first F1 title, Stella advises prudence, especially at Turn 1. Despite the possibility of Verstappen attempting tactical maneuvers, Stella believes McLaren's strong qualifying with both Norris (P2) and Piastri (P3) offers a strategic advantage, providing more options and mitigating risks like undercuts. He expressed confidence that the race would unfold fairly, likening the three-way title fight to the memorable 2010 season finale.
