McLaren chief executive officer Zak Brown, speaking ahead of the Qatar Grand Prix, commented on the possible use of team tactics in the Formula 1 title race.
We have two drivers that can leave this race leading the world championship, so how do you do anything other than give both drivers an equal opportunity to try and lead the championship? If we get to a situation where one can make it happen in Abu Dhabi, then of course, we'll ask one driver to help the other, but whilst we have two guys that can go into Abu Dhabi as the championship leader, it is absolutely crazy to do anything other than let them race in Qatar.
Currently, Lando Norris leads the Formula 1 drivers' standings with 390 points. Oscar Piastri is in second place with 366 points. Max Verstappen holds the third position, also with 366 points.
Recall that the sprint qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix was won by McLaren driver Oscar Piastri. His British teammate Lando Norris finished in third position.
The main race of the Qatar Grand Prix will take place at the Lusail International Circuit in the city of the same name and is set to start on November 30.
After this, only one more Grand Prix event will remain to be held in the current Formula 1 season.
