McLaren’s Piastri, Norris target constructors' title

DUO RESUMES BATTLE FOR DRIVERS' CROWN IN BAKU THIS WEEKEND

- 

Championship leader Oscar Piastri and Lan-do 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 10th 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.
