McLaren boss Andrea Stella says Formula One title contenders Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri can feel confident going into the last four races, with neither likely to have a track advantage.

The McLaren Racing Formula One team has clarified why Oscar Piastri was not a part of the team's championship celebrations.

Oscar Piastri said any long-standing punishment for Lando Norris by McLaren has been dropped after their clash in the sprint race. Norris was believed to be being given the worse quali options after making contact with his team-mate in Singapore but the incident that took them both out in Austin has now reset the rules.

And so, yet another dramatic twist in an increasingly gripping title fight has seen the once-trailing Lando Norris rise to the occasion brilliantly in Mexico to unseat his formerly unstoppable McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri from the lead in the points table that he has held since the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in April.

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has admitted that Max Verstappen’s resurgence has directly influenced the team’s recent decision to drop internal repercussions against Lando Norris following his Singapore Grand Prix clash with teammate Oscar Piastri.
