Lando Norris Urges McLaren Support in Championship

At the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, Charles Leclerc claimed victory, while Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris finished second and third, respectively, despite Piastri leading for most of the race. Norris has urged McLaren to make him their number one driver, expressing frustration over Piastri's close driving and the missed opportunity for a win. With eight races left, Norris reduced his championship deficit to 62 points, but he emphasized the need for the team's unwavering support to pursue both the constructors' and drivers' titles. Team principal Andrea Stella acknowledged McLaren's competitive position and hinted at possible team orders. As tensions rise, both drivers have been allowed to race freely, but Norris's call for prioritization reflects the high stakes of the championship battle. The race outcome highlights McLaren's potential for success as they aim for their first drivers' title since 2008.
