Oscar Piastri says McLaren are ready to use him to help Lando Norris’ championship bid if the circumstances arise at the Singapore Grand Prix.
The Australian said his win in Baku last weekend has “not really changed anything” in McLaren’s approach.
Norris, who beat Red Bull's Max Verstappen in Baku despite starting nine places behind him, heads into the Singapore weekend 59 points behind the Dutchman.In the end, Piasti was unable to help because Norris was caught by a yellow flag in qualifying and lined up only 15th on the grid. The Briton eventually finished fourth with Verstappen fifth.
Piastri said: “Lando was definitely a factor in the race. He helped with some ‘tyre saving’ with Checo.” “Our car is generally not very good on bumps and kerbs and that’s what we have here,” Verstappen said.
