Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle disagrees with suggestions McLaren haven’t supported 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris in his bid for this year’s world championship.

Norris is 62 points behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen with three rounds to go.

T꧂he 25-year-old is the only driver with a mathematical possibility of stopping Verstappen from securing his fourth F1 drivers’ title ahead of this weekend’s Las Vegas Grand ⛄Prix.

One argument for Norris not being closer to Verstappen in the championship is the fact McLaren didn’t not fully back 👍their star driver until the Azerbaijan Gꦯrand Prix in September.

Norris lost one-point to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri in the Austria sprint race after the British driver dropped to third after attempting to pass Versta🔯ppen.

He was then forced to mov♑e over for Piastri in Hunga꧅ry, giving the Australian his maiden F1 victory.

While in Monza, Piastri attacked Norris at the start of the race, leaving him vulnerable to168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Charles Leclerc.

Had those three scenarios gone in Norris’ favour - on t♕op of some fortune in terms of incidents (Austria, USA and Mexico), he could have posed a much bigger threat in the title race.

However🌜, speaking to Sky Sports News, Brundle feels McLaren havꦫe supported Norris and they can’t just “park a great talent” like Piastri by deploying team orders prematurely.

“Absolutely 💧not,” Brundle said. “Lando was very clear he didn’t want to win a world championship because hi🐼s teammate had to keep gifting him stuff here and there.

“McLaren knows that they can’t just park a great talent like Oscar Piastri as second in the team and have to yield every opportunity b♕ecause it’s 𒀰really hard psychologically to get over that and to keep your credibility reputation intact.”

McLaren are on course f𝔉or their first F1 constructors’ t🌼itle since 1998.

Brundle thin♉ks McLare♊n will have learned a lot by their return to the front of the pecking order.

“I think McLaren has learned a bit as well this year, being front runners for the first tim💝e in a ve⛦ry, very long time,” he added.

“I don’t think… they cert꧙ainly haven’t hampered Lando. I think they’ve g👍iven Lando every bit of support that he needed and a car that’s been very fast.”
