McLaren has officially backed Lando Norris in his pursuit of the championship, but this decision might not be as clear-cut as it seems. With Oscar Piastri being asked to support Norris for now, many are questioning the timing of this call and whether McLaren acted too late. Team principal Andrea Stella admits this backing may only be temporary, as future performances could shift the focus back to Piastri, sparking even more intrigue and competition within the team. Adding to the complexity, there are conflicting views between Stella and McLaren CEO Zak Brown, with each seemingly favoring a different driver.


Oscar Piastri has agreed to follow the team strategy, despite expressing some disappointment. However, McLaren's approach remains flexible, and future results from races like the Baku Grand Prix could change the narrative completely. Will McLaren stick with Norris, or will Piastri make a strong case for the spotlight? Stay tuned as we cover every twist and turn in McLaren's 2024 season and what this could mean for the championship battle!
