Title rivals Piastri and Norris bid to secure teams' crown for McLaren at Formula One Azerbaijan GP

Championship leader Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris resume their world title battle in Azerbaijan this weekend, but could also secure McLaren the constructors' crown.

- 

Having won 12 of the 16 races to date this year between them, Piastri and Norris are already on the brink of wrapping up McLaren's IOth team title with seven races to spare.

But the teammates are also locked in a race for the drivers' world championship, with Piastri leading Norris by 31 points after the Briton cut his lead last time out in Monza.

Despite Max Verstappen's victory at the high-speed Italian Grand Prix, the return to a street circuit where Piastri triumphed last year should enable McLaren to resume normal service.

But accidents and incidents are often part of the spectacle in Baku.

Norris can ill-afford another slip-up after retiring from the Dutch Grand Prix last month due to a mechanical failure.

McLaren can clinch the constructors' title with a 1-2, which would be their eighth of the season already.
