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

Norris is 62 points behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen with three rounds to go.

The 25-year-old is th💧e only driver with a mathematical possibility of stopping Verstappen from secur𝔍ing 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 chꩲampionship is the fact McLaren didn’t not ful♌ly back their star driver until the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in September.

Norris lost one-point to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri in the Austria sprint race after the British driver dropped to th🥀ird after attempting to pass Verstappen.

He was then forced to move over for Piastri in Hungar🤪y, giving the Australian his maiden F1 victory.

While in Monza, Piastri attacked Norris at the start of the race, leaving him vulnerable to168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Charles Leclerc.

Had those three scenarios gone in Norris’ favour - on top of some fortune in terms of incidents (Austria, USA and Mexico), heꦿ could have posed a much bigger threat in the title race.

Howe♈ver, speaking to Sky Sports News, Brundle feels McLaren have supported Norris and they can’t just “park a great talent” like Piastri by deploying team orܫders prematurely.

“Absolutely not,” Brundle said. “Lando was very clear h🌜e didn’t want to win a world championship because his 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 op🎉portunity because it’s really ꦆhard psychologically to get over that and to keep your credibility reputation intact.”

McLaren are on course for their fi♏rst F1 constructors’ title since 1998.

Brundle thinks McLaren 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 time ꦉin a very, very long time,” he added.

“I don’t think… they certainly haven’t hampered Lando. Iꦗ think they’ve given Lando every bit of support tha🐠t he needed and a car that’s been very fast.”
