The McLaren team principal, Andrea Stella, has insisted they will not give preferential treatment to Lando Norris over his teammate Oscar Piastri even as the British driver begins a run-in for the Formula One world championship against Max Verstappen.

Norris beat Verstappen with a dominant drive at Zandvoort to win the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday, retaking the lead after the Dutchman had beaten him off the start line. In so doing he demonstrated that the McLaren is now the quickest car in the field, surpassing Verstappen’s Red Bull, which had been all but untouchable early in the season.
