Norris: No Piastri shootout for title

LANDO Norris insisted he is not in a world championship shootout with McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri - and claimed the entire grid is still in title contention.

Norris reignited his stuttering bid to land a first championship by winning from pole position in Monaco to reduce the deficit to Piastri to just three points.

Piastri has four victories to Norris’ two, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen the only driver outside of McLaren to win a grand prix this season.

Verstappen is now 25 points behind Piastri - with fourth-placed Mercedes driver George Russell 62 points adrift - but speaking ahead of the ninth round of the season in Spain, Norris said: “Mathematically I feel like probably the whole grid can win the championship at the minute so if you think it is just out of me and Oscar then you are a bit silly.
